: Picked up the modified 18 foot Guillemot hull after joining the top and the
: bottom and weighed it. 53 pounds with bulkheads and hatches. 6 ounce cloth
: inside/out, hull and deck with double layers at keel and on the bottom.
: All I can say is, it is not fragile, but I may need to start lifting
: weights again to heave this behemoth onto and off of the carrier. One good
: note though...once in the water, it won't matter much at all!

I weighed my Coho last night for the first time. 55 pounds!!! I figured it would be heavy because I used a lot more expoxy than Pygmy called for. I also added some decorative wood to the deck. I sat in the seat I bought from Redfish for the first time. It fit the boat great and feels very comfortable. I plan to launch the boat this weekend.
