[QUOTE="mtnwkr, post: 192782, member: 4651"] My 13' gregor has these supports bolted to the seats and gunnels in four spots. Whats their purpose? I can't see them doing anything unless the boat was hit from the side, or leaning on its side up against a wall or something, and even then I think they would just bend. They take up a lot of room and I'd like to just remove them. Anyone done this? Is my boat going to self destruct and send me to hell or are they just superficial supports and not really needed. The boat is all welded and pretty beefy. Any ideas for replacing them with something less intrusive? Looking for some replies from boat folks more educated than I. Thanks!
