[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 235006, member: 4391"] Good topic. I know I'm concerned with weight. By re-doing the transom area, I know I'm adding weight. Something I feel i need to do to strengthen the transom area, and shrink the splash well area/add a rear casting deck area. The front of the boat is getting extra weight too vs what the boat originally had. The livewell, framing for the extra storage hatches, and rod lockers. I was mostly ignoring it, but after fabbing a wooden trolling motor recessed tray I starting thinking about it. This trolling motor recessed tray must weight 15-20lbs or more. The way to go on these is to buy one of the pre-molded ones. No doubt about it. I would guess I'm adding 250-300lbs of weight to the boat, NOT including the motor. I did remove some though. Splash well, BOTH steering consoles, side panels, rear splashwell trim panel, and a few other things [/QUOTE]
