Randy I built one exactly like yours except out of 6in and that think feels like it weights 2,000lbs is your heavy like that or hardly noticeable

Mine is not bad but you can feel the water weight when you turn or start handing it back onboard. At least until the water drains out. I dive with a scooter and don't swim much anymore, so I really don't feel the resistance from swimming.

I wonder if I drilled more hole it would help it is super negative I also thought about taking two half in pvc and capping both end and attaching and filling them with something like the great stuff can foam I had all the materials to build it so can't complain much

I drilled the crap out of mine (50-60 1/8" holes)on both the bottom cap and outside side of the tube. Water flows and drains well.

I just weighed mine. dry and ready to dive without pole spear it is 9lbs 12oz.....fwiw

Ok thanks I'll weight mine but IM almost sure it's heavier than that
