[QUOTE="baltimus, post: 368108, member: 10260"] I added an incredible amount of weight to the boat. An aluminum hull on its own doesn't weigh a lot so it still beats any fiberglass boat. It is still light enough that strong winds blow me around. I cant drive the boat onto the trailer, because my trailer is marginal at best, so I have to guide and pull it on with a rope which is pretty easy when there aren't Gale force winds. I typically fish by myself and don't have any weight related problems. So to directly answer your question, I'm not sure how much weight was actually added. For the strength to weight ratio of the wood structure its hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
