Dont know of anyone to actually weigh one. If I had to guess I would say the rear section in 80lb range and the two front pieces about 8lbs each.

Pretty sure I read somewhere the rear portion is 92 lbs and the panels were about 15 each.

That thread and another one, can't find yet, and from what I remember, arguably 85-95 lbs for the top and about 15lbs for each panel.

it is not the weight of the panel it is how bulky it is and how it scares up very easily.
