I do not see a Model 205 for 1930. There was a 205 in 1931 however.
Unfortunately no overall weights are listed, just engine weight. In the 1932 catalog, a Model 306, 25-foot Custom with a 6-cylinder Chrysler is listed at 3,800 pounds. Engine weight is 925 pounds.
I know, I know, this is just the guess that you didn't want. I don't see how the Model 205 would vary from this more than 200-300 pounds though.

I have found that most all Chris Crafts can be lifted in the middle just in front of motor. It takes a little work but you can get it close.
Mike,
The Chrysler Royal straight eight is listed at 1074 lbs with the straight drive: 1167 lbs with the 1.43 reduction: 1194 lbs with the 2.03: 1211 lbs with the 2.52: 1223 lbs with the 3.17: and 1409 lbs with the 4.48 reduction gear.
This data is from the Chrysler Royal data sheet that came with my research packet from the MM for my 1947 R & W Express.
Not the complete answer, but at least some correct data to help in your quest.

I would say your hull would be within a couple of hundred pounds from the 1932 25 Custom. These specs were for a 925 pound engine. Up that engine weight to 1125 gives you a difference of 200 pounds as well. So my best estimate would be 3,800-4,000 pounds.
A little less weight due t the 1 foot shorter hull, a little more weight due to the Royal.
