Just a little something to think about. If you have a melon that is 214" OTT and weights 296.5 pounds. With the Andy Wolf OTT chart saying it should weigh 270 pounds. How many gallons of water could there be in it ?

If Wikipedia is correct and a watermelon is about 91 percent water then the water weight of the melon would equal about 32.35 gallons or about the amount that would fit into a small trash can. Given that water weighs 8.34 pounds to the gallon.
