I finally got my boat sea worthy!! It is a 15' V hull 1972 Monark with a 79 25hp Johnson on it and an old motorguide trolling motor. I had to do a few things to the trailer its on such as new rims and tires and leaf springs and to the boat i repositioned the trolling motor to make it more secure and gave the gas motor new spark plugs, new wires, new water pump and and two transom mount bolts instead of big wood screws. There are also a few other modifications i want to do to the boat. I want to add a deck to it (not a real high one) with some storage space such as a rod locker, a live well, and a place to keep battery out of my way. The boat has three bench seats in it that if i could take the middle one out to provide more space. But the middle seat is riveted in. How could i remove it, and if so will i lose hull support and could this support be replaced or would it affect the boats performance drastically? If anyone has any suggestions please reply. I plan to get pics up soon so bare with me.
