[QUOTE="WTL, post: 26061, member: 351"] I think more than anything the jackplate is just screwing up the balance a little, making it stern heavy and prone to porpoising. It seems to have moved the center of gravity back. It only acted funny when it popped up and down. OK, so what should I do to be on the safe side. Remember the benches arent going back in, but the floors are serving part of that purpose anyways. Does that 2 part marine foam add enough rigidity or should I look at running a length or 2 of angle up the lenght of the boat (and I suppose attatch more angle supports to the floor up the sides)? What do yall normally do? I know for a fact I'm not the only one here who has removed bench seats. [/QUOTE]
