Like Bruce said, if the seat is riveted to floor, don't try it.

If your boat is a Lowe, don't try it.....I'm from Missouri.....Oh, I just think some of the Lowe fishing boats may be a little light for modifying.

If you are not planning on installing a floor between the seats, I would not remove the middle seat if your boat is rated for less than 30 hp. The aluminum may be too light and flexible to support your idea.

If the middle seat has foam under it, you have to ask what you are going to do with it. It's there for a purpose.

If you put in a floor between the remaining seats, you can cut up the foam and place under the floor.

You can pop rivet L braces for installing the floor using marine plywood, then carpet.

Of course, if the sides seem too flexible, you may want to re-attach the side supports some way to the new floor.

As to your basic question about sites, it is hard to find any....

Looks like your simple question to remove the middle seat turned out to be more than what you thought would be a simple answer.

Good luck...
