Hey guys, I have a 1984 KingFisher 15ft 6in fiberglass boat that has a 6ft rod locker fiberglassed in on the opposite side as the console. If I cut it out will there be any rigidity issues you think?
Thanks

I would look at any support structure you have on the side opposite the locker. Then duplicate it on the side where the locker was removed.

Re: Rod Locker Structural?

except for the console there isn't anything on that side. Used to have a 2ftx2ft livewell but I cut it out- it was just forward of the console you see in the first picture. Since there isn't any structure on the opposite side does that mean its ok to cut out?
Here is the other side:
