[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 432487, member: 19781"] As long as you're not going to be running it at 20 mph in rough water, I wouldn't have any qualms about removing a middle seat that is not connected to the floor. The only thing you'd need to do imo is add a stiff wood railing down the sides under the gunnels to add back some stiffness and stability to the side walls. The flooring will also add back rigidity to the frame. This is just to give you the idea of what many people do.. The seat holds the sidewalls from flexing outward. You need to replace that stability by adding stiffness to the sidewalls: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0295.JPG"]91509._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
