Heck of a project Capt! Enjoyed your other re-build very much. I have a question concerning all that weight you're taking out the boat. Being you have a tower your center of gravity will change drastically with more weight sifting up from the hull of the boat. Is there any issue regarding stability/handling rough seas in a lighter boat? Will ballast be needed in your bilge area?
One more question...Are your stringers wood fiber glassed over or composite filled?
