[QUOTE="adam_mac84, post: 457918, member: 24066"] When I see people decking their tin boats. There is always conversation of structure provided by seats. Is there consensus on what forces on the boat we are supporting with benches/bracing. Is it a compression of the sides inward from the water displacement? Or are the benches in tension to keep them from folding outward? I am no engineer. But would like to have a good working knowledge of what I am trying to support. Does this question make sense?
