Re: 1954 Lone Star Commander
"Did you do any reinforcing to compensate for the removal of the rear seat? Have you added or considered adding any flotation foam? "
I have not taken any pictures of this yet. I will tonight and post them. I've had her on the water twice sense I modified it. I believe the way I cut it, it is very close to as strong as it was before. As far as floating and foam, it was a concern of mine but I just went for it one day. Hope not to regret it but I get the feeling it’s going to be ok. The boat is extremely stable even in bad weather and strong wind, I still have the other two float chambers lol.
