[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 453549, member: 15465"] If you follow good engineering principles, here should be no reason you cannot make culverts for the water to flow thru. If you consider that the bench seat walls strengthen the boat, then it would make sense to fabricate reinforcements that act as a bridge to support the forces. I would make culverts out of 2 alum angle (maybe 2inch X 1/8 wall) so they pass from 1 wall to the other. Weld them to each other, the floor, & the walls of the benches. Or if you don't want to weld, the 1/2 section PVC would work but again they should stick thru & could be joined to the bench walls with screws & tabs. Might not be able to attach to floor without drilling thru bottom of boat however. [/QUOTE]
