[QUOTE="jesus freek, post: 152907, member: 3775"] I have recently purchased our first boat, a 69 Starcraft V bottom alum. boat with bench seats. It has a 25hp Evinrude and already has a wood floor,with no soft spots. I have 2 kids one is 6 years old the other is 4 years old. The attention span lasts for about an hour on the lake with fishing poles with the kids. To extend mine and my wifes fishing time ,my idea is to remove the front 2 bench seats and keep the one in the rear and put a swival seat on it,then lay down some carpet and in the front mount a pedistal with a seat on top for balance and use the remaining space in the center for the kids, reading, coloring etc. My question is, the bench seats are riveted in the side walls, I am assuming over the water line, how do I remove them and or the rivits without damaging the side wall.thx in advance [/QUOTE]
