Default Flipping 31 Ft. 1983 Scarab II Looking for Weight?

I am planning on flipping my 1983 31 foot Scarab II next week, just wondering what kind of weight I'm looking at? I already have the transmissions, motors, and lower units off!

put braceing in the boat from side to side at in the cockpit and the engine comp. the front should be ok. that will help so it doesn't flex. we used to flip old woody's but they were only 16-20 ft. good luck. post how you did.
