[QUOTE="great white, post: 356154, member: 6238"] Well, I've gutted the boat down to the single bottom deck. While it would plan fine, I just wasn't happy with it's performance overall. I like it light and peppy, so the next evolution will be lighter. The front deck is gone, the wing boxes are gone. Plan is a smaller cover for the gas tank area behind the rear deck that is still in place and perhaps a low, small deck up front just to give something to stand on instead of the hull. Bilge pumps will stay, as well as a battery box. The little triangle bow seat will get a small AL cover to make it a storage locker area. Probably add a little weight back with a Bimini top as well. The rest will just be small holders and nook areas for loose bits. I'm thinking AL for all of it, but that gets expensive really fast.... [/QUOTE]
