Anyone got one lying around that they can weigh for me? Been doing some MASSIVE repair to mine and i'm just curious as to how much more this thing weighs now. I'm thinking over double the original weight...........but i can stand on the lip now and it doesn't even flex.

what did you fix it with, could have repaired it stronger the it came originally and had it be lighter as well.

i'll post pics tommorrow. We had to build aluminum "filler" to hold the fiberglass resin and webbing in certain points and reshape all of it. All of the strenght in FG comes from the webbing.... not there glassing portion... we went VERY heavy on webbing in this one.

Did you mess up your v mount set-up?

Srce 12-18-2004 02:08 AM

Damn, where did the motivation to fix it rather than to replace it come from?

GreyGT-C 12-18-2004 05:03 AM
