Power Armour weight problem

OK, we all know that a regular Power Armour weight 45 pounds. But, a problem popped out when I was doing the get-the-systolic-motivator-and-repair-the-armour quest. I got the Motivator, gave it to the guy at the repair bay and he told me I had to repair it myself. No problem. Boosted my Repair skill to 40 with books (it wasn't my primary skill) and succesfully repaired the armour. I wanted to pick it up and got the message it's beyond my weight capacity. I then dropped items that weighted around 50 pounds and still nothing. Finally i dropped my whole inventory and when I picked the Power Armour up, its weight was 85 pounds...
And now, a question: does the weight of the armour depend on your repair skill or is it some sort of a bug? I'm rather confused about this...

EDIT: Scratch that.

According to this listing:

it is listed as weighing 85.

That's weird... I've seen the Power Armour you get for rescuing the BoS initiate from The Hub weighted 45 pounds... Or I've seen something wrong.

Anyway, thanks for a quick reply.

EDIT: OK, I've checked on a previous save, Power Armour weighs 85 pounds... jeeebus...

Just to think of the fact that it's 40 pounds lighter in F2... *sniff*
