Is this the Place?

I think the original pine I saw weighed 2.5-2.6 oz rigged so you are very close.

Did you recall if the orig. had a small tail weight?

2.75oz was 12grams in the belly (tried to account for the hole I drilled through the weight) plus a tail weight.

No tail weight. But it did carry a tail hook (which I don't use). Float it. If it sits close to level rigged the way you want with water at the tail and just below the lip slot you should be good. The Pine Srs and SSs I built came out heavy but fish fine.

these will carry a flag as well.
I will float them tonight and swim some others tomorrow.
