I didn't realize it was model year specific, but from my

If the AP that weighed it is still around, then print out
the TCDS specific to your model year, recompute the W&B to
your favor, take it to the AP. He/she should be willing to
sign the corrected WB at no charge. If not, ask if you should
take it to the FSDO to have it recomputed...

The weighing was 10 years ago in Texas somewhere. I'm not
sure how he could sign a corrected W&B anyway, without me
completely draining and refilling the nominally 79 gal tanks to
get an exact measure. And then, wouldn't this have to be
done by another A&P? If I approached FSDO, they may just
decide to ground me for having an invalid W&B.

How much is a W&B anyway? Might be easier to just reweigh
the bugger here in Las Vegas.
