Default More on weight issues.

That's cool. All you have to worry about is the foam being saturated and I
really have trouble believing that any foam could hold anything even
remotely appoaching the weight your think is an issue. Even with all the
wet spots and rotten wood I removed from my boat I think there couldn't have
really been more than 10 gallons of water total. 900 lbs is well over a 100
gallons of water and that's about 2 average sized bath tubs.

I guess the other alternative is that your boat was laid up really heavy.
That's not entirely a bad thing since if it is true it's solid as a rock.
Or the builder was way off on their published weight. Not sure anything
elas is left????

What's your basis for this theory?


Because that's the way it's built - no wood.

Are the stringers not wood?


No - fiberglass.

What's the floor made of?


Fiberglass.

I missed the start of this I think.


Yep.

How old is this boat?


Six years old.
