    You can find density in building standards, then times that by m3 or cm3... whatever suits. Bet you'd get better marks than 'some dude weighed it and its about the same'..

    Thats a good point.
    But it's also helpful to know the average / total weith produced by the skids and the carpet together, which are wet from use...makes a good margin to go by.

    Factor of Safety.. e.g. extra weight or unknowns involved with wet skids or if Rick takes a dump in the chemical toilet while he is out fishing..

    Check your PMs - I know a little about bouyancy displacement..
