[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 432475, member: 1417"] This is much debated here. Look at the size/length/overall proportion of the ribs of your boat. Look at the size and profile of of the gunnels. Now go to any jon boat manufacturer's site you choose, or all of them. Look at their boats [i]designed[/i] to be open. There is a difference. People believe what they want but the difference between those boats designed to be open and those designed to use the center bench as a structural support is clear. And they're made the way they are for a reason. Replace the structure the center seat provides with some deck structure you're probably ok. Just put in a floor and maybe not so ok. The center seat keeps the boat from flexing in the middle. [/QUOTE]
