Okay, I think it's ready for the pool or pond!

I trimmed the extra fabric and I'm flabbergasted by how much weight and bulk I was able to lose!

WELL under the magic 2 pound barrier! The lunker high mountain trout will weigh more than the boat! Smile

And check out the tidy package!!

This'll hardly take up any space in a pack. Stoked...

Spread limiter (and what you might want to stake the boat down with - it'll fly away at the lightest of breezes!):

One thing I noticed that just in the few minutes I was outside taking these photos the boat got very "ping tight"! Rang like a drum. Must be careful to monitor the pressure... Wish there was an easy and light blowoff valve, but I did the calcs and it should be able to take any sun heating pressure increase easily. Still, you can understand my trepidation... Wink
