I have lightend up the hull alot as i have removed the platform and all wood but replaced transome and keel with compound at 40 lbs a 5 gallon miss calculated the transome so that is about 200 lbs keel is 40 lbs , top cap added about 50 lbs hull sides about 80 lbs... Floors are going to be about 70 lbs.. And 60 gallon tank up front... Put hull in water and she floats high bow heavy and water levelabout 4" below chine..... I am going to build bracket and install on boat with out platform to see where it needs to ride... I wish the transom did not endup that heavy.. But it is waht it is.. It is a 73 sf with large stringers do i need to raise floor 2" for self bale out the stern
