[QUOTE="great white, post: 363774, member: 6238"] Depends on the boat, but generally yes. They are structural on a tinny. Depending on the specific boat and how you use it, you may or may not get away with removing them. For example, I might get away with removing the center seat on my springbok without problems if I only used it on calm lake/pond water. However, it might have some flexing issues if I were to jump boat wakes or when I took it out on the altlantic. A tinny generally isn't going to fold up like tin foil if you remove the seats but you may get into flexing/cracking/leaking issues as the season goes on.... [/QUOTE]
