I used to build BP's for free B4 I became disabled U C I am a master Welder/Fitter and worked in a boiler shop.
I also used to make all kinds of cool stuff out of metals.
I designed the first Junior Dragster, I actually used to be the owner of a Racing Chassis shop also...i sure miss being...
Glad I could be of some assistance Sang
I know what you mean, I have my setup where I can get all my gear in one large duffel including my buoy marker's/gear boat (deflated of course)
Hey BTW thought you would like to know I got my vintage Dacor Olympic rig back to mint condition the first stage...
I have a little keychain spy camera that takes awesome video footage.

how do you figure this? sure it will take more sand to equal the weight of lead but your surmise that...
I make weight bags out of thick mil plastic that will fit in my weight pockets and fill them with wet sand that I weigh out on my digital scales the water causes the sand to keep its shape inside the bag plus adds a little weight.
excellent material for ballast and the best part it is free.
It is a very nice bag and you can't beat the price.:dontknow:
If they don't have it in stock you can order online and get free shipping with ship to store.
Yep you could make a wood plug and Vac form them with a home made plantum.
you can also make a plug, Wax it and make a fiber glass or carbon fiber back plate.
