Default Average Float Weight for 5.5# Plane

Just about finished with my floats for my Goldberg Falcon. The plane AUW is 5.5# and my floats without attachment struts weight 1.5#. They are 33.5" long, white foam and fiberglassed with spruce reinforcement. Is this about right or am I heavy? Just wondered if I was in the ball park, not knowing what a typical set of floats for a .40 trainer usually weighs. Hope my OS .40 will be enough power.
