Hello everyone. This is my first time posting on this site. Sofar i have found it very informative.
I have a 12' aluminum boat with a 9.8 hp merc. I do alot of trolling for trout. anyways i want to modify my boat by putting a deck on. I was thinking of putting a small platform in the rear covering the rear seat. Making a storage area for fuel or any extra items.
I was also planing a platform in the bow covering the front seat and making more storage. I do want to put a floor in, but i want to remove the middle seat for extra walking space.
Folding seats will be in the front and back. A storage box will be built in running along the port side of the boat for rod, oar storage.
and now for my question
If I remove the middle seat will this weaken the boat ?
Thanks everyone.
