[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 407094, member: 15636"] Nice boat and price! Best I can advise is spend a long while perusing the forums, as there are SO MANY great conversions and ideas from the many gifted, talented or just plain darned determined folks here. But as far as removing the middle seat ... in what kinds of waters will you be running? I run in the salt and a slight chop is typical of the day. See one concern here for what removing a structural member of the hull can do. And FWIW, I've seen two fiberglass CC hulls showing the same damage at the topsides, hull and liner, about from 1/3rd to 1/2-way back from the bow. So it is a legitimate concern if used in seas ... On lakes or ponds and if NOT running in bad sea states and you'd probably be OK ... See: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=38511 [/QUOTE]
