[QUOTE="jethro, post: 433142, member: 12381"] Just make sure you include a plan to brace back the sidewalls where you removed the seats. Those are structural components of lightweight tin boats and taking them out without relacing the structure can be a good recipe for failure on the water. Think about what happens when you take on a wave from the bow.. the force of the water pushes the bow upwards, which in turn allows the sidewalls to seperate from each other since you removed the structural cross brace. If that happens dramatically you will have structural failure. Even if it only happens slightly, over time you can form stress cracks in your gunwale. [/QUOTE]
