2008 180 VENTURA Modifying Hull Structure
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2023 5:53 pm
I plan to remove the aft bench seat on my 2008 180:VENTURA. This seat is not bolted in was done on older models.
I anticipate that I will be doing the [re-work to the] fiberglass and gel cost.
Q1: [will cutting out the stern bench seats affect the] structure [of the hull]?
The reason for this change is to create more cockpit deck space for using the 180 VENTURA for angling instead of using it for water skiing and tubing. The extra [cockpit deck] space [that will result from removing the molded-in seating] would be ideal for me. I just re-powered this 180 VENTURA.
