While I do understand the logic of weighing for fuel consumption, I agree with sendler on this one. Using last year's Green Grand Prix as an example: it did rain the night before and although I wrapped the roof in plastic, Centurion is not exactly water proof. The floors were wet, especially the rear tray where the extra cushions were mostly floating. It got worse on my side even during the trip to the event from the hotel. There's some access cutouts through the wheel wells (for door strikers and such) that allowed water in. Water in or draining out would certainly make a difference.

Maybe I'll install a couple of bilge pumps rather than fix the holes.
