I am about to wheel a strip NH into the spray booth. I've already paddled it a bit, and it's great. I'm not sure that it's a tremendous weight savings, but it took a long time to build a hull that looks like it would have been much easier to build as a S+G. Given the option, I wouldn't go through the trouble of building this design with a strip hull. A plywood hull would cut a ton of time off the project, and you'd end up with the same performance characteristics.
