Ideas / Suggestions for downsizing from PA?

Hi y'all, apologize if this topic has been posted before!

I have a 2014 PA12 with upgraded turbo v2 fin with glide tech, this beast has a loaded weight of 130lb -140lb when fully rigged. Problem is this is starting to get too heavy & sluggish on the water for me, so want to check with BWE community for ideas or suggestions to lighten and/or downsizing from a PA12.

I'm looking for reducing overall loaded weight, and gain more maneuverability/speed if possible. So 2 questions:
1. What can i do to lighten the load by 20~30lb?
2. if downsizing, what do you suggest? I'm currently considering going back to a Hobie Outback... but that's still 100lb+ when fully loaded for YT fishing

Thanks in advance!
