: Bill,

: As I said, I haven't weighed it yet (still) but the chines are all WRC with
: standard 1/2" cheapo ply for the crosspieces. I used scraps from my
: NorthBay deck (4 mm with 4 oz glass) for the stern pieces, and WRC for the
: bifid bow.

: I suspect it's lighter than I realize, but it still feels heavier than I
: expected. My guess is it comes in around 30 pounds or so. Like I said
: though, my S&G is only about 40.

Getting it much under 30 lbs. and keeping it structurally sound is a trick. 30 lbs. is light.
