I do not plan to use any mahog, except spray shield.
I am thinking about using 4mm Marine instead of the 1/4.
Using 9mm & 12mm marine instead of most of the mahog.
Using cypress for the carlins, sheers and top strips instead of 1/4" plywood.
Glass outside with 6oz. and inside with 4oz cloth...
This is the material list to build by design.
I see alot of opportunity to lighten the boat and still make it a good looking boat.
ITEM MATERIAL NO. PCs. SIZE
Breasthook Mahog 1 1" X 6" X 7"
Sheer Mahog 2 1"x5/8"x17' 6"
Deck beams #8 & #9 Sp or Mahog makes both 1"x51/2"x 32"
Deck beams #10...
Jack,
waterline with 500lbs. is suppose to be 3 1/2" at there design weight.
Hope to at least cut 30lbs. off the design. That would be shooting for 80lbs. finished.
Think it is possible? Give me you'lls suggestions. I am open "minded"!!!!!!!!
Planning to start this boat before long.
It is 16-10", 37" beam, 7'-6"cockpit.

Put the trolling motor in a tunnel (even with the bottom)
Designer cypress strip top
Should be alot lighter...
