[QUOTE="Kriseffinger, post: 301292, member: 9611"] Jib2, With the seats removed the structure of the boat does not seem weakened at all, the sides are still very sturdy and don't give at all. I am planning on fabricating new middle seats that are half size and have storage compartments in them. I am planning on using the existing seat brackets to attach them to the sides of the boat. I will anchor the new seats to the floor frame work or the actual plywood floor to add support to the sides; I haven't worked that part out yet. In the back I am planning on making a split seat configuration that goes all the way back to the transom with storage underneath for gas tanks, etc. Good luck with your project. [/QUOTE]
