6' is 4.75lbs on an old fish scale. I have a better scale coming but it'll be a few days.

With the advanced thermodynamics of the CR it probably makes it the one to opt for. ICR sent me the dimensions so I calc'd the total weight with water and posted for comparison with CMX's extrusion. Thanks!

From ICR's measurements and Pics; the CR Racing Extrusion:
Weighs: 0.792#'s/Foot
Water Volume is: 0.0314 Gallons / Foot
Water Weight is: 0.2625#'s/Foot
For a total of: 1.055#'s/Foot

From Mark's measurements and Pics; the CMX Extrusion:
Weighs: 0.667#'s/Foot
Water Volume is: 0.0348 Gallons / Foot
Water Weight is: 0.2910#'s/Foot
For a Total of: 0.958#'s/Foot

The Total Difference being 0.097#'s/Foot. If you really want to save that tenth of a pound per foot? Use a following router bit and erase the flange completely between where your rivets spaced every 6" will be, leave a tab about the size of a dime for your rivet. Then they are the same weight per foot, wet weight.
