The 40 lb is about 119lbs with water in it. The 60lb is about 136lbs with water in it. How much of a difference would one notice with adding that weight to the yak? Just wondering if you would notice that weight. I'll probably still build one out of a 40lb vittel.
I use the 40lb, I had a 60 at one time and it was O.K., but it was just too big for my taste. The only time I have ever notice the water weight is when water leaked into my kayaks but from other sources not the bait tanks. Usually when I'm paddling back into shore I pull the drain plug so that the water drains before landing. I also thing the weight of the water in the tank helped save me back in April when I was paddling in some very rough waters. Again, I honestly have not heard anyone complain about the extra weight.
