Thanks Aron, was hoping to get more answers but ......

Looks like that is one big point in favor of paint then. Just got some scales in where I could weight my boats and I was surprised at how much heavier the painted boat was than the ZAR coated one. About 2-3 lbs. But it took several quarts to seal that polyester skin and I still have some seepage I have not found.
