help lightest boat you can build

[tx river rat]

Some good points there Matt,
Ease of build is not considered
After I get some wood in I am going to build some samples and do some test on then and weights.

This weekend , and with building all the boats I have been building I did not get one done.
I know there are several under 20 lbs that were built.

I think I won by default, I had the only 12' wood boat there. there was a 12' SOF at 28lb that I expected to be lighter but wasn't. The laker using 3/16'' strips and 6oz cloth came in at 19.2 lb.
