5 x 9.5 x 4 tall. I'm calculating about 1250 fully loaded (crosses fingers...), but I'm not done yet.

I probably went a little heavier than I needed on the frame and deck. Could have saved 100-150 lbs, but I'm getting smarter as I go along. And it's taking me so long that by the time it's done I'll be a freakin' genius!

And Andrew, how heavy it is built sure makes a difference with a small trailer.

If I were to build again, I'd do a lot of thing different, and maybe get that weight down another couple hundred pounds.

Weight, I believe, is our enemy not our friend.

I remember flying in a friends Belanca, an all wood airplane, fast, quiet and very nice.

Thanks to everyone for replying. All of your TD's look great. I'm so used to building everthing so heavy when I do remodels on old houses and building cabinet. Lightweight construction will be new for me. William

Not sure if I count in this post, as we did not build ours...we opted to make a purchase. Heres our numbers: Little Guy Rascal, 460lbs, 4' x approx 8' x 39" inside height. Composite walls, minimal galley. 40-50lb tongue weight.

When we decide to build our next one, we will look at doing all aluminum framing, structural foam floor and galley, etc and try to get in the 300's for an ultra ultra lightweight version....dreams!!!!

My fat A$$ tear is 5’2”x 10’ x 4’4” and smashes the scale at 1750. It was weighed with all gear ready for a trip, the only things that were not in it was food, water and BEER.

Wow now I'm scared to have mine weighed. I was planning to on the 19th as I leave town to go camping

I may have to second think that, maybe it's better left unknown.
