Overall, I lowered the coaming height one full inch plus change over the original. That's pretty decent.

If you want the lowest possible height, you don't turn anything down, just as getting the lightest weight means watching each and every ounce that goes into the project with skepticism. It's very simple Depression-era economy: you'll never save money by saying "oh heck, it's just a dollar", and "watch your pennies and nickels and the dollars will take care of themselves". Just how I think because of my father beating it into my head for fifty years.
