Sorry, but I think you need to make alternative plans.

The following is based on a particular Archer II that I fly - remember each example of each type is different.

Ignoring balance and looking purely at the weight:

Pilot and passengers 4 x 14 x14 = 784 lbs
Fuel, say 40 gals = 240 lbs
Basic empty weight = 1696 lbs

Total = 2720 lbs

max allowed: = 2558

So you are 162lbs overweight, before baggage!

Not the most practical 4 seater in the world!
