: John, how much weight will the maple strips add to the kayak
: overall?
Good question! I had been wrestling with this and had never bothered to crank through the numbers. I found that the density of the maple is about double that of the WRC. I calculate the weight of the maple I plan to use at about 4 pounds. If I had used WRC in the same places I would have saved about 2 pounds.
