Tough question with out a picture. One thing that I know for sure is that the bathroom scales become less and less accurate above 200#. If you did not put a spreader board on the top of the scale it pinches the spring inside and gives very wrong answers (although consistent). I also just finished painting and have about 3gal of primer, color, and clear coat. They are at least 12# per gal. I do a weight and balance next week and I'm betting on 750# Good luck, Joe Horton On Wed, 25 May 2005 08:40:58 -0500 <raybeth...@sbcglobal.net> writes: > Kr-Netters, > When I make it to the Gathering in my KR2S, I may not only > give Larry Flesner > some real competition in the "ugliest" department, but also in the > weight department. > Her is what I am talking about (weight wise).
