Author	Topic:   130 & 150 hull weights
DaveNJ	posted 07-07-2003 08:57 PM ET (US)         What accounts for the large increase in weight from the old 13' and 15' versus the new 130 & 150 ? Is it additional layers of fiberglass ? Are they more solid than the older ones, almost like commercial hulls ? thx - Dave

DaveNJ	posted 07-08-2003 01:23 PM ET (US)             I see that the 150 is 2" longer, 10' wider. The draft on the 150 states 7" compared to 8" on the older hull. This measurement I find hard to believe though. The 150 sits up visibly higher. The 130 is 1" shorter, 6" wider with 1" more draft than the original 13'. Maybe those fiberglass consoles and seats add to the weight too versus the wood. Question answered.
