Here's another hint: Ashley's super-lite is in the picture so it's definitely not FRP. There are more give-a-ways if you look closely.

Thom

Looks a tad shorter... , so remove the spacer, or put a mini radial w/ some spacer, or none... can't imagine that would shave significant weight in the grand scheme of things.

Maybe a lb or two from the can, a few lbs of less sorb...?

I don't want to be a spoiler since Ron said he would do a full write up but I will say this:

I had a chance to lift both rigs and her's was significantly lighter than mine. Additonally there are some other mods still being made but as it is... I believe it is a viable option for someone desiring a lighter rig.

Now if I could just get my trim right

I will get to the full write up next week when I have the rig in my hands again, as well as a scale and camera. Right now I'm trying to get the boats ready for the season out here and get settled after 6 months of traveling and diving. My boats need some serious attention for now.
