Removing lm27 interior walls?

[dingusdingo]

Hey everyone! I previously lived in my lm27, but am now on land and use it for more weekend trips with more people on board than just me. As such, I was thinking of tearing down the walls that are just before the front cabin so as to create more of a horseshoe lounge for entertaining and sleeping.

I have a couple of lights up there, but can reroute one to the ceiling. Are these walls vital to any of the boats structural integrity though?

Thank,

Dan
