When you chop up a ski and do that much modifciation you generally add more weight than what the original hull even weighed.
IMO after material cost and time spent, you're better off just paying a professional hull builder for a quality built hull. They use better techniques like vacuum bagging and make the hull light and strong. You also have the opportunity to upgrade from regular fiberglass to full carbon. Some of these carbon hulls are like 50-60 pounds.

I'm using glass, cause it's familiar, and when your adding 4 gallons of resin, then losing 2 you know it's changed quite a bit. The net is heavier than A/M, but no more than stock.
Plus you have the ability to test your new design, infinitely more fun than riding someone elses

I cut the bottom section and filled it with foam and started shaping. I would put the rail around the nose if I was doing this again. I made a splash guard to reduce getting sprayed in the face. I will probably put the rail back on this winter.
