How do I know whether a sculling boat is heavy or lightweigh

I'm a novice sculler so apologies for asking a question that might seem obvious to those with more experience, but if I weigh about 200 pounds, what size sculling boat would be right for me? (I'm guessing it's all about measurements of the boat, but what size scull would be ideal?) Thanks.

For a new boat, see the boatbuilder's catalogue. Typical:

If used, you'd best have a go. You'll need more clearance if your water's rough. A big boat (90-100kg) will be 810-830cm length however, 310-327 inches.
