Originally posted by Flingblade: eidsvolling, That is a great idea. I assume you ordered the extra seat from Old Town? I would think with the extra seat mounted you could remove that thwart. I have considered selling mine and buying a 16' Penobscot as they don't have the extra thwart behind the front seat, but they're not royalex anymore. I love the Penobscot hull. Speed and secondary stability are excellent.
