Just to add a little gasoline to the legal vs. practical argument,
there are a good number of STCs out there that allow for gross weight
increases. Power Flow has one for the C-172N that with relatively small
modifications (limit flap travel, a cowl cooling lip that some N's
already have) makes it legal to carry an extra 100lbs.
