Dear Jeff.
Since this is friday..
Can't really help much on your questions about weight/power, but your
being from Denver makes me think of a KR builder I knew when he lived in
Ohio & had a KR2-S well along. He had a Cont 0-200 (two actually) ready
to go on his. The last I knew of him, he was
gned for 900 lb gross, is going to be safe?

guess that makes it 828 lbs or so.
