I’m going to weigh it soon. But it is not manageable for 1 guy. I’m guessing 125 to 150 poundsa. But being 5 ft wide and 6’2 tall and 8 ft long, 1 guy can’t really handle it. It’s easy for two guys tho. It’s big. Three guys can fish easy and 4 comfortably. I am also building a smaller 1 to 2 man one now. It will be 48w x 6.5L x 5 tall with a 1 foot fold up side it get to 6ft tall. Not gojng to put a floor in it. My guess this one will come in at 50 to 70 lbs is all.
I will post pics of it too over next few weeks and get the weight on both. But all in all I already like it better than the old pop up tent style.
