Sunfish Over 330 Pounds Possible?

Recently acquired a 1985 SF. It seems very heavy: two men can move it, but not very far without stopping to rest. Upon weighing it, we get an error message on a digital scale. The scale is rated to 330 pounds. Has anyone heard of one this heavy? The foam would have to be holding about 15 gallons to be this heavy, by my calculations. Anybody ever see or hear about such a heavy boat?
Looks like it's time for a couple of ports, and an over-winter drying out. These boats are such fun. Thanks for reading.

Must be full of water or if outside, ice. After installing inspection ports, blow out with hair dryer or leaf blower with black trash bags on the deck in the sun. Be careful to let most of the air out of the hull otherwise you could seperate the hull from the foam blocks. Could take a looooong time to dry out and still end up heavy. Dry it out, clean it up and sell it to a recreational sailor and start over.
