When I took that seat out, although misplaced I could tell the boat got a little more flimsy.
Also planning on hollowing out that front seat and putting a hatch in the top so I can put the battery in there.
no, I like the boat, just trying to get in on this naval construction semantics debateFlintRiverFowler wrote:jehler wrote:Calling that a gusset is a stretch

If you want the seat removed, you can probably put a "triangle" in connecting the hullside to the bottom frames of the boat. It would strengthen it like havering the bench there without taking up much space.

I've seen where guys have fabricated a triangle brace. Hard to describe but it bolts to the side of the boat brace on the bottom and then on the top part. Kinda warps around it and makes an angle between them
