Thanks again, I read that about the wing tip floats and will check out the seams. Now just to figure out a motor, A Saito 1.2, might be to much or a Saito 91. The 91 is a lot lighter (19.6 vs. 28 oz). I really want to go electric, but have yet to see any details on a conversion, and not sure I want to be first. But I have all winter now that the cold has set in and the water is getting hard.
