I dont weight mine and make them from western red ( I've experimented with pine,birch and mapel as well), I feel the weight of the epoxy compensates for the lighter wood.. the ones I weighted just didnt seem to have the original action( 8" plug, the smaller 6" does well with a little lead in the gut)..I do through wire them and fit them with 4/0 VMC's in the front, rear with a 3/0 and a 6/0 siwash on the tail.. they work well when towed against the rip in that swirling washing machine know as the Merrimack river...
