[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 471518, member: 18942"] you will be a little lighter going to a blazer 1742 .080 hull from an alweld 1752 .080, but you won't be loosing that much weight maybe 100lbs. You could attempt to lighten your current hull. If it has a full floor I'm willing to bet it has water logged foam under the floor. Pull the floor up get rid of the foam, replace the solid floor with perforated flooring. That and ditching any unnecessary stuff from the boat. Is it a console? get rid of the console and convert your engine to tiller. What engine are you running? Could you get away with going with a smaller lighter engine, but of course that comes with the draw back of less speed and load carrying capability. [/QUOTE]
