hull weight question

In the pdf about drying out the boat, there is a reference to a table showing hull weight for different manufacturers. The specifications just say 130#. My boat is an '82 Alcort. How do I figure out what the dry weight should be?

If you look closely at that pdf you'll notice it came from the file library at Sunfish Sailors. Most hulls made after 1980 are rated at 130# in the spec sheets. Reality is these hulls are hand laid so there's variation of a few lbs. The videos from the LP openhouse tour show resin quantity looks more controlled currently.
 
Would you mind providing a link to the PDF on weight? Thanks!
It's not a pdf file here, but I have friends who can arrange to get one...

As mentioned earlier, these are the published weights. The actuals differ some due to the handmade element in building out of fiberglass.
