[QUOTE="62lonestar, post: 442652, member: 18729"] A lot of people say to not remove the middle bench seat but it is not that big of a deal as long as you support the sides. I converted my 62 lonestar into a flats boat. I got sick of jumping over the middle bench to go up front. I converted my 15hp to remote steering(side console) instead of tiller steering which added support to one side where I removed the middle bench. The other side I ran aluminum down the length of the hull to connect the front bench to the rear bench. When doing a whole build you just have to think strategically with support and weight. [/QUOTE]
