Looks good and not bad on the weight. I was 1322 fully outfitted with motor, battery and 19gal of fuel.

Narfi, yours looks very nice and from the video it looks like it runs very well. I think that all said and done I should be right at or maybe a little under your weight once i have the motor(s), tank, and battery installed. I will pick it up again and re-weigh it at that time as well.

You are going to love it. I definatly overbuilt and went heavier than I should. I'd really like the time to build a light weight one some day, be a completely different focus than the first build which we are still really enjoying. (Though it's past time for me to do some work on replacing the sacrificial keel strips)
