Nothing slow about it if you ask me! You're making short work of it. Like those gunnel rod holders.

So far my math is telling me Ive added roughly 190lbs of weight in wood not counting glass materials. Deduct say 50 for the old floor and seats from the original 215 and im still in the neighborhood of 350-360ish without the front deck. By the time its done Im guessing Ill be in the 450+ range. Not terrible but Im trying to stay light as possible. I do believe the weight will add stability and ride quality to the lil guy though. We shall see.

Thanks!


My plan is a font deck about 3" below the rail going back 38" or so. Still have to cut in the back hatch and work on that. Going to do a removeable stainless pedestal and seat up front so I can pull it off for gigging flounder from the front. Also batteries up front, recessed cleats, shark eye bow lights, etc...

Anyone seen any of the shark eyes in LED for a reasonable price?
