I switched all my single weights to bank sinkers, 24 oz for goose full bodys and 12 oz for ducks. they are very easy to get grass off of, one or two shakes and any seaweed that is on the weight falls right off. got molds for each from do-it molds
i have had both and prefer hydraulic although i did lose a seal on steering cylinder at eight degrees, local hydraulic shop was able to upgrade the seals and wear bushings and no problems since.
i put a new floor in my 23 foot center console with coosa board. not the cheapest way to go but definitely lighter an
d stronger. 3 years later it is still perfect
