[QUOTE="clarkbre, post: 192850, member: 2634"] I would say leave them in. They may look small and not useful but they do add structural integrity to your boat. If you take them out, the gunnels will be less strong and more likely to get bent out of shape. I know you said they take up a lot of room, but do they really? Your fish finder is mounted right next to one so isn’t that taking up the same space as well? If you can, utilize them. Below is an interior pic of my boat. I have the same type of supports. Rather than removing the supports, I store the oars underneath them. To further maximize storage, I attached 2 rod holders to each side of the boat. The supports help keep otherwise cumbersome gear out of the way and readily available. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/clarkbre/Lund%20WC16/DSC_0022.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
