I finally reached a point when everything was mounted on the engine and wanted to know the dry weight.  It came in at around 350 pounds.

Add in a 3 blade IVO prop, oil, and coolant and I am at 400 pounds...

Needless to say that is not what I was hoping for as Zenith lists their FWF for a wet O360 with a 2 blade metal prop at 400 pounds.

What have others come it at for a dry weight for their 13b setups?

Scott,
Sound about right, I believe that 340lbs is a carefully managed weight for FWF, wet with oil water rads and PSRU.
I don't know what the extra with the IVO is - would it be 50 lbs?
