In Response To: Re: Strip: Thin deck and hatches (Dan Caouette (CSCWC))

: I was thinking this also... Thin bulkheads with access plates
: should be lighter than float bags.

Float bags can vary in weight (quite a bit for the diy style).
Just for reference (I weighed these just now):

SeaDog 8" Inspection plate 355g (without fasteners)
Commercial 48" long float bag with long inflation tube 410g
