[QUOTE="Snookman181, post: 377757, member: 17013"] I am trying to acquire a 15 ft riveted Jon boat that has 2 seat, front and rear, and a livewell/seat in the middle. I am wanting to remove the livewell/seat so I can increase the floor space and make this a better duck boat. I am planning on having the fill hole welded closed by a local shop and I am going to add removable flooring to the boat due to the supports. My question is would removing this cause a loss in strength in the hull and could it cause the hull begin to twist, flex, or break. I plan on using a 9.9 or 15 horse motor. I also plan on fishing out of this boat in the off season. I am sure this has been brought up before and from what I read from other threads it mainly talked about designated seats not livewell integrated seats. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
