I dont think the weight was changed much as much as just “tweaking” the hull, so to speak. I have a 96 Eyra and seem to remember asking something along that line once. And Rick Pierce himself shared a lot of information with me about the Eyra when I took it up to the factory for some upgrades after I bought it in 2007. But, looking back and seeing how all of the present day designs by most of the manufacturers were initially based off of the Eyras “2000 era styling”, I take great comfort in knowing the Eyra was the building block of something great, the Jaguar, the Cougar the PIII…and the list goes on.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner
