: But you might try the search function. There's a pretty significant
: weight/strength trade off, depending on what weight cloth you
: use, but also more importantly, your background / experience
: using epoxy. I had little, and my first boat.... well, it seems
: we newbies go with 'more is stronger' and end up with a boat
: weight reminiscent of a concrete canoe. (BTW, less is more is
: the mantra to remember).
: I'm on my second boat - using lighter cloth, doubled in some key
: areas, and much less epoxy. It's a strong build, and will weigh,
: I think, perhaps 40% less than my first boat). Maybe you're a
: bodybuilder, and relish the exercise of hoisting a 75# boat on
: top of your car. I'm not/I don't. Besides, just my observation,
: but every year, that boat has gotten a lil' bit heavier. YMMV.

Hi George,

Saved in the head :)
