[QUOTE="natec, post: 469830, member: 25117"] Good morning, I'm the happy owner of a new-to-me Alumacraft boat. According to the title it is a 1974, 15' - however the coast guard plate is missing. I would like to remove one or both of the middle seats and I understand that I need to account for the flotation that would be removed. I've read a number of great build threads on this site and was looking at different ways that folks have accounted for the lateral structural stability - however when I look at my seats (attached photo) it doesn't appear as though these benches are doing much to hold the sides of the boat rigid. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated. Nate [ATTACH type="full" alt="Seats.jpg"]103286._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
