[QUOTE="rkc118, post: 434997, member: 21626"] getting closer. the framing, foam replacement, and decking are finished. so is the electrical system, check that out here: https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=43061 . I took it out on the water one time, pretty happy with everything, but the motor didn't run like it did in the fall, so I will have to work on it more. as far as weight goes, the framing added 55 pounds and the plywood (used about 3 full sheets), carpet, and fasteners added another 120 pounds. other weights: motor - 90, gas tank (full) - 30, trolling motor - 30, 2 group 27 everstart batteries - 100, and another 50ish for misc seats, lights, anchors, etc. puts the total right around 500 pounds. the boat is rated for 915, so by myself it will be OK, but it will be close if I take a buddy with me.
