[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 366089, member: 13702"] Depending on the area you're dealing with that could be a fairly significant weight savings. Plywood weighs about 25lbs per 1/4" per sheet, so a 1548 would use approximately 2 sheets on just the horizontal surfaces - so you could save roughly 100lbs less the weight of the fiberglass would be a net savings of 75lbs +/-. If you have plywood vertical surfaces too (around the helm, storage etc.) you'd stand to save even more. [/QUOTE]
