What's the "real" weight of a Pro Angler

Need some advice, not just the numbers from the brochure. The hull weight of a Pro Angler is shown as 88 lbs. The "fully rigged" weight is 138". I went to ACK and lifted one of their PA rental units. It was fully equipped less the drive. I don't have scales built into my arms, but the weight surely wasn't close to 138 lbs. I need to be able to toss two of these on a roof rack of a pickup. They seem to be more bulky and awkward than heavy.

When to these things get to the 100 lb plus range?

Engine,

I have a Pro Angler and they are heavier than your average Hobie kayak. Their weight can creep up when you consider the options mounted and the mods that I and several others have done such as adding a thicker cutting board, a sliding seat mount, rod holders, tackle boxes etc. if you see what I mean. I also have the Evolve 2 motor in mine. Now if you don't mind taking everything out each and everytime you load and unload then the weight is minimal but when you leave everything in like I do that is why I trailer my PA. I do wonder why you are putting roof racks on when you have a pick-up? If I were you I would get a trailer extender rack mounted in a trailer hitch and have your PA's in your pick-up bed, wouldn't that be easier loading just waist height rather than trying to lift your PA over your shoulder? Just my 2 cents.
