I'm giving up on this one. I think it needs a new block (1835 VW), but

This won't help you, as my KR1 buffets at 62 mph.(53 kts). Haven't taken

Mine is 565 empty, 875 gross. I'd guess you can knock 80 lbs off of that
easily just by sticking to the plan layup schedule. Mine has the entire
boat wrapped in a layer, multiple layers on the wings. It also has GPAS
