Me too! The reasons are: the versatility of 1 or 2 up sailing and weight.

The low weight of the Blade, of all F16s,is understated. Specific advantages of low weight which are little appreciated by those of you who don't own F16s are: ease of loading, unloading from the trailer and moving the boat around the beach. All beaches have ruts, dips and gradients! Given equal balance on the dolly, it is much easier to move 240 lbs than it is to move 300-400 lbs.! And before anyone says 60 lbs is no big deal, let me reminder you that this group quibbles over mere ounces!

I love my Blade!! Midget boats rule!!
