Need help Weight questions?????

[Eodman]

Ok 1st I have two mean machine hulls --- as we know 1 was set up with twin ep1's on the backend ... the new one I want to build for P offshore!

I stripped the twin down --- burnt an esc up so i need to clean it up and make it look pretty!

The older of the hulls weight 3lbs. 3 oz. and the new one only 2lbs. will that 1 lb 3 oz difference make a difference in speed & if so how much?

The older hull is much stiffer so I think it will handle rough water better so my thought process says I should assemble that one with the 9 xl! My twin outboard is more for fun I'm not sure it will run in any of the classes but we'll see!

Anybody have any thoughts?

I'd use the older hull for racing...you're gonna want the added weight/stiffness when racing. we don't often have a lot of say in the weather...that water can look like an ocean at times .

You could also look at it this way

If you were racing and someone ran into you broadside which boat would survive better ?????
