Lifetimer skiff

This boat is a 14' 2008 Lifetimer. Does it look like it has adequate side support? It appears as though the seats are not structural and there is no extrusion or side reinforcing that I can see. Thoughts?

The bow deck and the transom combined with what is under the floor boards should be enough. Bigger gunnels would be nice but I think you'd be fine, it isn't a boat you want to be pounding into waves anyways. We have similar in our 16 foot Starcraft and it went through even west coast swells. Lifetimer could weld in a complete seat for you as well. He's motivated eh? I ride by that almost daily and the price is getting right.
