Question. I am close to finishing and have decided I like the interior of the boat without the decorative side panels. My father is insisting the panels have some kind of structural significance since below them was a contured hard board on each side. Do I need them or not. I don't have a picture so I was hoping this might be common knowledge. As you can see by the picts. I did replace seats. Carpet and repower to a 72 chrysler 35hp which I hope will pull my kids on a tube. Wife liked it was same color. Any ideas would be helpfull. Also replaced wheel. Added stereo.
