18 foot Lund SSV, removing bench seating

I know this topic has been beaten to death about removing the middle bench seating, and I've searched but I've only found one project with actual pictures on how to construct supports for the sides after removing the seat. The boat I'm working on does not have the ability to cut down the benches and just build over them so that is not an option. For the people that know where these topics are, could you post links so I could study the pictures? Thanks for any help!!

Hey man, welcome. Check out this link, there is a section of links having to do with bench seating, I think it will be your best bet. I've found the best way to get help here is to get started and ask specific questions once you run into them.

plus post some pics of your seats. Someone has dealt with them before regardless of the style. You can only put benches into a boat in a number of different ways before you are doing the same as another boat company.

Here's the link to my build. Might give you some ideas on how to fix yours up. Like the other guys said, throw some pics up so we can visualize what you're working with.
