I know on my 32 it is very heavy, takes 3 to put in on. I have done it with two but not fun.

And its dry, I had mine apart and it was still heavy, 3/4" ply that is glassed over, and mine even has the fiberglass cutouts that raise the height over the motors. Then again I thought mine was heavy until I help a buddy with his 35 Cafe hatch!

I guess mines absolutely fine than 🙂 was super worried first time I lifted it! Definitely did not expect that. I’m surprised people are not building from lighter material
