I expect it to be as light or lighter than factory. The floor had about 4 layers of bi weave on it and the layup was not done very well. plant to weigh the hull once it is back together and before rigging. Only thing I am adding is the transom knees.

my MISSLE had a corrigated floor, think it was factory, mine was a 1976...also had a slight rocker in the bottom, best riding of all the MAGNUMS & RABCO's I've had ( 2.5 merc offshore v/6 though ) good luck with yours...sorry I never weighed it so can't help you there, if anything the extra weight help keep it landed, never tried to lift on me, but I respected the button...

Great job ,glad to see another magnum get restored. I have a magnum copy made in Canada it's rockered side to side and the inside of the sponsons aren't straight there on a negative angle, I think it was copied off one of the later magnums. My floor is cored . Hope to see some pics of the finished boat
