: In my case, my S&G Arctic Tern is 45 pounds, and my SOF Greenland is 41

: 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 ;-)
I've seen boats in the 25 pound range, but both of mine are 40 or so. My next one will probably have cedar gunwales to save weight.
