[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 15303, member: 55"] The biggest thing the middle bench does, is keep the sides from either folding in, or bowing out. When they do that, the boat will start to fold, and loose a lot of stiffness. When you remove the seat, you need to make sure that there is ample support keeping the gunwales the same distance apart. Now, if you don't want the support piece to be at the same location as the seat, you will want to put a horizontal of some sort, along each gunwale, and attach a cross member to it, nearer the bow and stern.
