Any chance take both? Just so you can get a weight on this one or maybe can get it weighed locally...unofficial weight? Be nice to know after all the work you did.

It's a beautiful looking pumpkin - a heartbreaker to have a late season split. What are your estimated weights on these beauties? How do you seal the BES to help prevent rot to keep for display? I hope you make it to Krause as it wouldn't be same without you there.

Mike, taping 401 inches and 352 inches OTT. I just used expanding foam but previous have used Lexel sealant like other growers have suggested and used. Yeah Danny I'd like to take both to Vancouver but don't think they will both fit. Maybe with the tailgate off and the smaller one at the back but I'll know soon.
