I've gotta build a gantry and lift the house on Oh Joy. It's 1" mahogany sides with 1/2" ply with the usual overhead beams of white oak. It's about 4' wide forward swelling to about 8' aft and 16' long. Any guesses on the weight?

Oh... Joy.

Ballpark guess, figuring cabinsides about 16" tall? Maybe 550 pounds?

A spreadsheet and some weight calcs will be much more accurate than a guess. It'll take about an hour out of your life, though.

A lot less if you disconnect it from the hull.
