Bob,
I cc'd Craig on this. Its really not that heavy I think, but he can give an
estimate from the last time he moved it around. I am thinking more like 50
pounds. It dosnt have to be structural, like a fiberglass boat or anything,
just strong enough to hold the window and clamp down OK.
Lets see what Craig says.
Best Regards,
Jim
