[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 361888, member: 5461"] Boats like your 1648 Big Jon are built VERY sturdy, in fact they are a bit overbuilt. Taking that seat out (even without adding a floor, deck, etc) will obviously remove some structural rigidity, but it will in no way leave the boat "floppy". However, if I were you, I would leave the center seat and build a deck that goes between the center seat and the front mini-deck. Your boat is PERFECT for such a mod. This is what I did to my old boat .... exact same boat you have. It creates a huge deck and provides tons of storage underneath. I hacked mine together two days before a trip ... I wish I had time to do better, but it worked. [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-HuUnna_W9w0/U9vb5-URqMI/AAAAAAAAbDk/kTyG706u3O8/w469-h352-no/IMG_0181.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
