I will put progression pictures of the build if anyone would like to see the build process of this boat?

The bilge will be silver/grey color and the motors and drives will be the Mercury Fire Orange pearl color.

A simple and understandable good answer. Thanks Blume.
What kind of weight savings are there between a bare SS and SLW hull? The 388 for example?
