After adding the Sliding Rowing Seat and Dreher Sculls to our Chester Yawl, I’m seriously considering removing the Sliding Rowing Seat and ADDING permanent thwarts to the hull. this would allow to enjoy the boat with 2 persons rowing and eliminate the separate seats that come standard with this boat.

Has anyone else ever done this before and if so, please share your results.
