[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 265054, member: 6657"] Your bench seats are structural and contain the valuable and much needed floatation foam that will keep your boat afloat in case of a hull breach or being swamped. The thin gunwales on a bench boat won't support the sides without benches, open deck boats have the wide gunwales and extra support for the sides. Instead of removing your benches you may want to consider decking over top of the instead. This will give you storage space below and a clear deck above. [/QUOTE]
