about how much I estimate shipping weight to be on engines?

Shipping a couple engines across country, and have had zero luck in trying to figure out how much the engines weigh. Google searching provides plenty of links on total bike weight, but nothing on the engines themselves.

First one is a 76 Can Am 175MX engine, second one is a 92 Seadoo 587CC jet ski engine. I figure both of them I'll end up building a small wooden crate for (shipping to different people). At this point I'm just trying to determine what the shipping weights will be, or at least just the weights of the engines themselves so I know what to plug into the shipping calculators, and thus how much payment the buyers should be sending me.

And no, I can't just put them on the bathroom scale, as I don't own one.....I don't want to know how fat I'm getting

Borrow a scale; avoid standing on it yourself.
