Hhm, maybe but i had no problem picking it uo and moving it around when I did the swap....awkward for sure but not too heavy. Maybe 45lbs?
I would think a true CF hood would weigh in at 3lbs befroe brakets were added. I have picked up aircraft wings 30" long that weigh less than my hood!

I would guess they are in the 45-50 lbs range too. Not too heavy, but pretty awkward trying to move it around by yourself...

Maybe a full CF hood could be that light, but this is an APC hood that is fiberglass with CF on top.
