I have it.. I like it but its way to heavy for me when filled with wet sand.. so am having it customized to fit me.. your a guy and most likely can handle the heavy scoopers, I just cant lug around a over 4 lb scooper..but it is a super nice one.

If bootys says its good.. then its good.. as far as weight goes.. you'll get used to it fast.. i have a very heavy Stainless Steel Nutall Diamond head scoop that i thought was going to kill me when i first got it..weighs 7 lbs at least... months later.. no probs.. a year later.. would never even concider anything lighter. Mikey.. Oh and if you want to make it lighter in the water.. Florida Bill showed me how to put a noodle on the handle.. that was the best thing ever!.. Mikey
