In my case, my S&G Arctic Tern is 45 pounds, and my SOF Greenland is 41 pounds. I've read that by choosing lighter woods and skin, the weight can be reduced to around 25 to 30 pounds on the SOF. I'm not sure about strip boats as I haven't made one yet ;-)

: How much does a SOF weigh vs Strip or Stich and Glue. Forgive my lack of
: knowledge, but my curiosity gets the better of me at times.
