We should have weighed the enclosure before putting it on, but didn't. Two people can lift it, and four people placed it easily. Our guess is between 175 and 250 lbs. The sides are cored with foam, and the top is cored with divinycell. It will lose some weight when the openings are cut for the windows, but then the windows/frames will add some back.
The actual windows will be much larger than the rough cutouts, so there will be less fiberglass and more clear glass - as much window as possible without compromising structural integrity.
The new gas tank is 75 gallons, so I'm not carrying as much fuel weight as some of the 23s, and don't need it since this is not an offshore boat. I'll avoid ethanol fuel if possible, but we all know you don't want that stuff sitting around any longer than necessary, so a smaller tank has some advantages.
