My T-2001 also weighed the same thing after a healthy amount of fiberglass repairs. That's why I'm on a diet in preparation for this season. I actually got disqualified fromn my first national win in 1998 in a 1997 Red Devil, but that was when I weighed 160. Oh well.

Last season my Invader with the 494 weighed in at 808 to 824 depending on how much fuel I had left. I weigh 190-195 and I had the on-board starter and a lite weight Odessy battery.
