Dean: Give/cheap- means I need to be given a cheap ride on the P-19 rig when it is done. The P19 hull weighs about 60 pounds, gotta be less than the rotomolded Rave center hull. Also you better have a really skinny a** : the hull needs some widening to sit inside instead of on!
Hollis talked about replacing the Al center crossbar with CF, but it was all talk.
BTW- Hollis is moving to the wilderness - Bangor, Maine! Moose will be a big change for that Miami boy.
No, seriously, I gotta pay you SOMETHING for that hull. I needed to know it's weight, thanks. I honestly don't know how much my hull weighs but HDPE is dense. It's quite a process to take it off. I'm gonna call you this weekend.
I really hesitated on bringing up the idea of a new hull. It's a two-year-old idea. I need to talk to Dr. Bradfield before I go flying into marine software and Autocad. Dr. Sam may already have an alternative hull design that didn't make it to market for whatever reason but that may have been an improvement over the stock hull. He might sell me the plans if such a thing exists. It never hurts to ask. I wanted to give this idea some legs before we move. I had a short talk with Mike McG. and will talk to him again this weekend. Go here for the boring details in a post I made today:

I may be right behind Hollis. Canada is looking not so cold these days. We've made one scouting trip already and made reservations last night for another trip.
