: Good question! I had been wrestling with this and had never
: bothered to crank through the numbers. I found that the density
: of the maple is about double that of the WRC. I calculate the
: weight of the maple I plan to use at about 4 pounds. If I had
: used WRC in the same places I would have saved about 2 pounds.
A small amount of hardwood doesn't make a huge difference in weight unless it's one of the wildly heavy tropical woods. Get carried away with it though and these woods can add a sizeable amout of weight. Not hard at all to end up with a 50 lb. boat.
