It's really not a "lightweight" boat. I have double walls and a factory floor in mine. The 50" wide boats have 3 longitudinal ribs and the 56" wide have 5. I insisted on 5 ribs for strength. There is a steep learning curve to driving one empty. It ain't yer standard flatbottom, nail the throttle and go. The boat is finicky about the trim. If you nail the throttle and hit the trim, it starts chine walking, gets worse and worse till you have to chop the throttle. Way to run one without chine walking is to feed the trim slowly. Bump the up button, let the boat catch up, bump the up again, let the boat catch up. Takes a few trips to learn it, then it's all good. Here is the perfect example of how NOT to do it, too uch trim too quickly:
