Default RE: balancing your boat

ORIGINAL: Vlad the Impailer

If you made one out of pvc would you try and make it with a floor truss design like you did on the wood one? or have you thought of anything yet?
Most likely. It seems to be the best design, strength-to-weight-wise. I haven't sat down and figured it out yet, but I think when I do it'll take me about 15 minutes. The biggest expense will be the fittings. And you know there's gonna be alot of them. When I do it I'll take pictures and let you know how much it costs. You can figure out the materials needed from the pictures. If you want to do one that is. But it'll definetly help you. I'm thinking the PVC platform will be between 30 and 40 pounds finished. Plus, ifI seal itright, it'll keep the boat afloat of it takes on too much water.
