We weighed in at 110lbs fully loaded.

Luckily, we designed in some weight savings opportunities should the need arise. looks like we'll be diving into that.

On a completely unrelated note , anyone know where we can get a 26" long 1/2" keyed aluminum shaft? The longest I can find right now is 24"
I would be tempted to stick two chunks of shaft together with a ferrule insert to couple them, using a key to ensure that the two shafts' keyways lined up.

Like this:
