Relax! I decided against the A cat some days ago. Getting back into beach cats was my wife's idea! She INSISTS that I do this for my health! I bounced around at 200-210 for years. Only ballooned up after parking the Hobie-17.
In fact, I'm DOWN to 240 in anticipation of the new boat. Over the next 12 months, I'm confident of weight loss of 1-3 lbs. per month. So, by the time I learn the boat, I'll be at least as competitive as I ever was.
btw- your right about the weight/warranty issue. Your numbers may be a little off, but not much.
