Cat. Mike . Tell me about weight The Can Do It is a 1970 military hull(thicker hull and bigger stringers)with a custom FBC section with a wood core flybridge deck and bulkhead now 2" thick at the engine section and 1 1/4" thick above the engines . The tower and gear and full fuel and ice makes almost 18,000 lbs. I'll be tickled pink when my new cockpit (Divencell core) and engine boxes are in.I should be about 1,000 lbs lighter then. Point being it doesn't take much to add weight when you start with diesel engines and transmissions alone at 5,000 lbs. No tower , no big diesel, no wood cores at all means mucho thousand pounds less.That's why I'm putting the Can Do It on a diet! Dave K
