[QUOTE="surfman, post: 457927, member: 7404"] Some boats are designed with the seats incorporated into the structural integrity, some are designed so that the seats are just that seats and, they can be removed without any problem. For the most part, most of the time a seat can be removed without causing the boat to fail however, there may be some flexing after removing the seat. Flexing doesn't necessarily mean the boat will fail but, in the case of say a riveted boat hull it could add to loosening of rivets and such. I removed the middle bench seat from my 1448 and the boat had good bracing incorporated into the hull, it flexes slightly but, not really noticeably, it is one of the best thing I did to the boat.
