I have a 16' starcraft that I am adding a main deck and upper deck to. I have taken out the middle seat for more space and will be running a 25hp on it. On the left side I am building a box that will tie the front and back seat together. it will hold spearguns and take some of the twist out of the center of the boat once tied to the two bench seats and the floor. My questions is: will this be sufficient or shouuld I also brace the right side of the boat to the floor and subfloor since I took the middle seat out? I can always add it in later after I run it. But I'd like to hear from folks who have done something similar.
this boat will be running the back bays of Long Island and up into some of the inlets on decent days.
