Weight Reduction
I was bored at work today so I thought of some weight reductiong, that everyone can do, to lighten up our boats. Most of these items are free or fairly cheap. Please feel free to add any items or info that I missed. Note Some of these items are on the extreme side of reducing weight, but I listed the majority of the Items I could think of. I will try to get some how-to off the internet, and make some myself when I start shaving pounds on my stang.

RE: Weight Reduction
Not to contridict any of you guys, but I used to see the VW Bugs at the track in Houston, Tx run those temp tires at 140 or better in the quarter. Seen quite a few blow outs too!!!!!
