[QUOTE="great white, post: 363813, member: 6238"] Looks like the builder of that rig incorporated the seats (or at least the seat mounting points) into the design. Very likely as rigid (or almost as rigid) as OEM. Looks like your hull (from what i can see in your pic) could be done the same very easily. If stowage is an issue, you can always leave the OEM benches in place and cut the tops open to make stowage holds. Floatation foam can be removed, although some frown on that as well. Foam only becomes an issue if you swamp the boat. But I rarely find someone with a swamped boat who actually planned to swamp it.... :lol: If you swamp it in deeper water without the foam in place, it goes straight to the bottom in a hurry. :cry: [/QUOTE]
