Already had that conversation BPF thanks. It has been questioned and reweighed which is why the last weight schedule was done, with the figures that it has. I'm assured that its been looked into as...

My fault, that was quoting the Cessna empty weight (the generic empty in the POH) as opposed to the weight schedule weight, which is the one everyone is at odds with.

The whole thing is a concern...
