I did not take the plane to the lake. Instead I had it weighed and found that over time, with all the hack and chop,water weight gain and a few add on for improvement, had become seriously over. Water is responsible for most of it. Some is dirt accumulation. the rest just plain extras.
I am now recalculating and a new hull is mandatory . Weight distribution will also need adjustment. I doubt it will fly again this year.
I cut the hull off and removed the luxury pedals they are 10# the hull went from 45# to 60# I have to find and remove 58#
That means a new hull of less than 30#
