Coffin lid off of 1974 Outrage 21. Weighs nearly 100 pounds. Anyone know how much this lid should weigh if it were dry? Thanks.

I installed new plywood and re-glassed my floor panel on a 1984 18 Outrage and when I was finished it weighed a bunch. I would think your floor panel is not water logged.

Easy,
In case you haven't reached any conclusions I offer this. My flooring deck weighed in at 92#, with comple new tri-laminated 1/4 plys. Hope this helps

The coffin lid on a 1974 Outrage 21 is about half the size of a 1980's Outrage 18. When I worked at the factory installing fuel tanks and covers on the 18 Outrage we could carry a tank cover by ourself into the boat. My guess is that coffin lid weighs too much.
