[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 15345, member: 55"] The middle ones do provide some support. Read my last post. They keep the gunwales the same distance apart. Otherwise, they would fold in, or bow out, and the boat would fold up. (I have seen an aluminum canoe that made it over a set of falls, and folded up. The gunwales had folded in, almost flat to the bottom of the hull, and the center thwart was folded in half) Now, on a vee, the hull shape is a bit stronger than on a jon, and more resistant to folding, and you could probably take the seats out just fine, but remember, they were there for a reason.
