I think you'll get 10-12 pounds of static thrust. Flying you'll be nearer 15 pounds though.
I weighed my Rascal 110 & was a bit disappointed.
It came in at 14# 6oz W/O fuel. That will means an all up weight W/16oz of fuel of over 15#.
It'll still float. I built a 16 pound 88" wingspan Ryobi powered scale like plane that when I forgot to remove the vent plug went dead stick a minute into it's maiden flight, on the way to my "emergency landing" I flew through a thermal, as a sailplaner I took a couple of turns and was going up.
