Your boat has a lip on the stern that's similar to my Rib. The way my ladder is installed should work for your boat. I'll take a pic later. I don't know where to buy it though.

Welcome

Then you don't really need a vest. Unless it was for some specific reason to keep your upper body down. But if you were going to use the vest have enough weight on the belt so that if you ditch it you'll be positive at the depth you feel you need to be positive. The logic is that a belt is quicker/easier to ditch than a vest.
And BTW guys it's now a Speardiver vest
and BTW in a couple of weeks the vest will be available in all the camo patterns as the wetsuits.

So between 2 -1 and 3 -1, Belt - vest weight ratio.
As a rule the belt always has more weight.
-
When using a weight vest what should be the weight ratio vest to belt?

Playa Esmeralda is a beautiful place, secluded, not many guests. I didn't do any spearfishing.

So you changed the motor? How long did the original last? Swimstep looks comfy.

Nice. Pic of the boat?

Very nice muzzle accents.

Can't miss that sign

I know exactly what you're talking about and I made sure the scale wasn't on an angle. It appears that way because I'm straining to hold the float submerged and at the same time tilting my head to look at the scale, the camera being on my head. There is no question that the scale was straight and moving freely.

Here's the bouyancy test for the Aimrite Reef float. As mentioned previously it's an older model but I was told the dimensions and stated bouyancy are the same as the current red/orange model; 39" long by 12" wide - 48lb.
The float was inflated by mouth as much as was possible. It had 37lb of lift in the pool. Multiplying by 1.025 to get saltwater bouyancy results in almost 38llb, 10lb less than Aimrite's stated bouyancy. After testing the Speardiver Zodiac float this is more or less what I expected. Based on these tests and its dimensions I believe Aimrite's Bluewater float bouyancy will be significantly less than the stated 90lb.

I took the opportunity to retest the Speardiver float, this time without the ballast. It measured 44lb of lift. Multiplied by 1.025 results in 45lb bouyancy in saltwater. Same as the previous result.

A little longer than C3 would be nice. But the C4 is completely different, heavier stock.
