The hull is Philippine mahogany with Alaskan yellow cedar accents at the waterline. The deck has mahogany around the edge, some yellow cedar and then mostly red cedar. The cockpit recess and coaming are yellow cedar with a bit of walnut trim.
It weighs in at 37 lbs. which I am happy with. Some of the doodads (hinges, etc.) added to it but I can live with it. The seat is a Redfish seat.
