I put everything in the cockpit and came up close to 40#, but I won't use all the fabric. I used cedar for all other parts. I haven't calibrated the scale so it could be off. Wouldn't mind it being off then I would weigh less too.. There is something about this frame, it is quite appealing to my eye. The lines are striking, more so than any other I have seen. I can't wait to get it covered and on the water. There is a lot of room for storage too.
