[QUOTE="Hooky1420, post: 166590, member: 3367"] I haven't had a chance to put it on the scales yet, but by keeping track of what i put onto the boat, the wood/carpet/materials account for about 95 lbs. I used half inch plywood everywhere that wasn't loadbearing, and 3/4 for the flooring and the front deck. It has gained some weight, but not much. Before doing any of the modifications, my two buddies and i took it out for a spin at Quiet Waters Lake. I go 230lbs, and my two friends are about 215 a piece, plus two batteries, a trolling motor, a cooler, and all our gear. The boat still rode rather high out of the water, and if you think about it, I'm guessing that's nearly 750 lbs of man and gear combined. That's why I wasn't too worried about the wood when I started to put it on. I'll find out this weekend for sure, but I think it will be okay as we will probably only fish 2 men at a time, or take it canal cruising with me and the little lady who only goes about a buck 15. And you're dead on about the 4pm rain and boat wakes in the Glades! I know a couple of "less traveled" spots though that are real nice to hunker down and catch some bass.... [/QUOTE]
