Dean,

No worries, I am behind in email myself by about a month now.

What you see there with Alvin Jr, is purely for surface flotation and 
stability in 3 foot coastal swells. Material likely to be composites for the 
fore and aft sections, and just maybe, sheet for the saddle tanks. (Ease of 
construction for the shape).

Weight yet to be determined when I have a chance to input detail design work 
into the software. Too heavy, would require syntactic foam but I doubt it, 
look at what K boats carry for lead as it is!

None of this likely to happen now for another two years as I am renovating a 
property and otherwise caught up in life's demands.

Joe
