[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 402604, member: 9169"] This. I completely removed my middle bench by removing the solid rivets that attach it to the hull. My boat has ribs directly fore and aft and they go all the way up to just about the gunwale. If my boat did not have these ribs and relied more on the bench for structural integrity, I would have thought twice about removing it. No issues in over 2 years since I've removed the bench it terms of loss of structure. I did install an aluminum floor and extended my bow deck by about 18". I'm sure that helped, at least a bit.
