[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 347330, member: 9169"] Aluminum would definitely be the way to go if you want to reduce weight. Cost factor would be the only concern vs wood. As far as removing a bench seat, I did it with my build and haven't had any issues so far. But, my ribs extend 3/4 of the way up the gunwales and are spaced evenly throughout the hull of my boat. So I felt comfortable with the support I would have after removing my bench seat. You'll have to evaluate your situation and make a decision from there. You can check out my build for ideas if you want. Mine was built specifically for duck/goose hunting and secondly for fishing. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
