ORIGINAL: AR 34 eight point

Good luck with thoes weights on that big of a boat! I just built a Hybrid duck boat, you can find them on the Refuge under boats and blinds. I dont have a finshed picture yet, Its not done all the way yet, I plan on test floating it today. Mine is 8 foot and weighs 60 + lbs. Made of 1/4 in plywood and fiberglass. I will take a look at your plans.
My plywood is only 3mm marine Okoume. 12lbs a sheet. I am using new growth cyprus for the skeleton. It is much lighter than pine. My transom is going to be heavy since it will be two layers of ¾ marine ply. I'm now trying to find the right glass to use. I can't start for 3 weeks because of a cruise, but if y'all have any suggestions I would appreciate them.
