[QUOTE="A Perfect Tin, post: 412694, member: 21056"] Scott, I may not be the best one to answer, but I will tell you what I know. I used aluminum 1/8 - failed to weigh it. I could however carry the pieces in one lift, so it couldn't be much. The marine grade plywood, I was told weighed 44lbs. I have 3.5 sheets of that. The other improvement was the removal of the steel fuel tank in favor of a plastic one. Initially this was done because of height, but it also lightened the load. So to answer the question, can buoyancy be improved... with the exception of adding a bigger footprint, I don't know how. I will say this, with two people... it's a good, comfortable size with room for some movement and gear. I think if there was three (the boat could do it), we would be on top of each other. Thanks for visiting the post. [/QUOTE]
