[QUOTE="darb79, post: 80728, member: 1161"] Nice canvas to start with. From what I see you shouldnt have trouble cutting the back seat as long as it is rebuilt with extra reinforcement. I would try to keep the floor solid underneath the bench and take it to the last rib, just in front of the transom support. That way you can take the structural support to the floor. You could even remove the seat compleatly and rebuild a new seat to your needed dimensions. I would try to use both sides of the rear seat for the battery and gas tank areas just because it would be half way done allready. Its hard for me to say if it will work to remove the front seat. On my 14' riveted grumman, the gunnels went extremly flimsy (more than I thought it would) when I un-attatched the braces connected to the seat. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7242 This is a little look at mine, I need to post the pictures of where I cut into the rear seat through the storage on the left side to stash my batteries. for my rod storage this is what Im planning on doing. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7320 If your going to build your storage, you may be able to pull off something like this.
