: Y'all got me confused now. Go paddle it? But someone else looked
: and said it's "too purty to paddle"........

I finally got around to weighing this Storm LT today..... whoohoo! 30.2#! That's durn near Maurer material, I'm thinking.... then remember my boat is 16', vs 18' for the OI. I rationalized, of course - 'I'm not a professional..... the only tools I had were a whittling knife and a toothbrush..... I had to scrape my epoxy drips off with me teeth (that BPA thread was a spook!)..... and so on.

I'm just funnin' ya - I'm pleased as punch. But I'll say this - I was awful careful with my epoxy, but still got some runs (inside hull - that's tougher). Used internal plus external stems - won't on the next. These boats are for my daughters,e so 'less is more'. Plus, I'm not getting any younger (or stronger). eFunny how the devil's in the details, isn't it?
