Hey all,
New to posting on the forum. Have been lurking for a while. I have a question that I know has been asked and answered many times, but wanted to see if anyone had make/model specific experience.
First let me say the boat is used on only one waterway, a small, lazy spring fed river with a 5mph speed limit, and always only carries one or two fishermen. It has a Mercury 15hp 4-stroke and trolling motor. I'd like to remove the center seat because it is just in the way and is never used. I intend to put a cooler in the middle to sit on, if needed, when fishing alone. I'd like to get opinions whether its necessary to add structural support because of the removed seat given it's calm water and low mph use.
I knowingly understand that I'll bee removing the flotation from the boat, as I have already done to all the seats. I find its just easier to clean.
Thanks,
Randy
