This be hard to say. If the sides are just a wall of fiberglass or if there a wood core can make a difference. How the floor and transom made makes a difference. Some transoms are a thin layer of fiberglass with a small wood for about a 10-15 HP motor. Some are wood all across the transom for larger motors.
Just taking a wild guess I going to say 140 Kilograms maximum. Which may be heavy for a car top, I not sure, because then we get into type car etc. etc.
I guess the best thing to do, is get a friend and try to lift and see how it feel. You should get an idea from that. 140 Kg will feel heavy and awkward, but, you should be able to lift it over your heads for regular size men.

WHY DONT YOU JUST TRY PICKING IT UP WITH 2 PEOPLE, I THINK THAT WOULD PRETTY MUCH ANSWER YOUR QUESTION
