[QUOTE="fish4thriLLs, post: 225366, member: 6490"] What about the weight issue of white oak? I mean this board is HEAVY! But, of course, it's 2" thick and 74" long too. The next board I have coming will be even heavier since it's gonna be at least 12" wide. After I plane it down to 1.5" thick and about 69" long it'll be a little lighter but, still it's gonna be uber heavy. Will the weight cause me any problems? My boat's specs are in my signature below. I have tiller steering and I recently moved my battery to the back of the boat. My 6 gallon gas tank is back there with me also. I don't have any decking installed. I've never had a problem with my boat sitting too low in the back. But, I haven't had my battery and a huge chunk of white oak back there before either! [/QUOTE]
