Default Weight of Sensi?

Anyone know the rough weight of a typical metal Sensenich prop for O-320 160 hp? Thanks

Default Weight

Thanks Larry! That is heavier than I thought but makes me think I may be on the right track by adding heavy Sabre crush plate (14#) to my Catto (16#) and Landoll harmonic dampener (10-12#?) setup to help c/g on my -4. Eventhough it seems to enhance a vibration in the 1100-1300 rpm range (dynamic balance setup for next Sat.). BTW you guys have a good FBO there in Carlsbad, was over there for the Mayfield-Carlsbad HS football game last year.

Thanks
