[QUOTE="richg99, post: 400413, member: 4376"] Well, one thing that might help you is a number of five-gallon buckets of water. Water weighs around 8.34 lbs per gallon. So, a five-gallon bucket would come in at 41 lbs or so. If you put X number of five-gallon buckets in the boat, full of water, and with lids fastened on tightly...you could try the boat out before going through a lot of work building things that might be too heavy. I wish I had done that before doing my "improvement" on the El Pescador. I was younger and far more stupid then. regards, richg99 [/QUOTE]
