: I'm about to build an SOF or two and am having a very hard time
: getting WRC around here, so I'm contemplating using clear Pine.
: Any ideas how much Pine adds to the weight of the boat vs WRC?

Depending on the size of the boat, and the number of chines, pine vs. WRC adds about 5 lbs., maybe a little less.
