actually I have lost weight, all the old foam was wet, the 2 old tanks were aluminum and the new one is plastic. I have cut off around 200lbs and the new tank being in the center makes the center of gravity more of a central and lower location. Allowing the boat to handle better.

FYI, you should not use pine plywood , need to use Douglas fur or birch to do you stringers and bulk heads . pine has oils and will rot .
