Purple Rain my new Hemlock Eaglet

I cannot wait to see where the new tough layup falls on the weight spectrum. Despite my challenges in the Yukon this summer I've been slowly but surely falling in love with my RockSTAR - but switching it out for an IXP-like SRT is going to be mighty tempting. MIGHTY tempting. That being said - I wonder if it's going to be possible to make a boat like that weigh less than 45 pounds, especially if made with wooden gunwales (which I think is all Hemlock does)?

I think you might see shy of 45#'s. The Phoenix is 40#'s but 6" shorter and not as deep. As far as gunnels (Wood) right now that is what they are offering but I'd think we might see something else in the future.
