[QUOTE="jeepola, post: 414536, member: 19894"] For all intents and purposes, my boat project is finished. I took it on the lake the other day and it fished beautifully - much better than I had anticipated. The overall balance seems perfect, and the trolling motor really zips it along. At this point I wouldn't change or add a thing. I decided not to screw in the remaining side panels, as the fit on them is so tight that it's not necessary. They work great on keeping the sound down, and don't add any considerable weight. The heaviest parts of the boat are the rear floor horse mat, and of course the front deck. I'm not sure how much total weight I added, but it's a handful to move around on my own at this point (though much easier than my bass boat). My goal was to change my beater into something that looked halfway decent, and was more comfortable to fish out of. I think I accomplished that. : ) [/QUOTE]
