SimBrief lets you share custom airframes now, so here are airframes that match the IXEG model reasonably accurately.

Empty weight and fuel tank capacity both come from the .acf file (fuel capacity adjusted slightly to match the popup fuel slider tied to the GRD CALL button on the overhead panel). The maximum ramp/taxi weight is also obtained from the .acf file, and the other weights (MZFW, MLW, MTOW) derived from a weight variant in the official Boeing "Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning" document:

https://www.boeing.com/commercial/airports/plan_manuals.page

Given how the IXEG models the 737-300 with CFM56-3B1 ENGINES (20,000 LB SLST), that leaves three column to choose from in the 737-300 table (page 18 of document D6-58325-6).

It should be noted that the IXEG has the following weights:

35,462lb fuel
72,380lb empty
139,374lb maximum (ramp?)

The fuel capacity corresponds to the column with standard tanks (35,584lb usable fuel), the empty weight matches more closely with the column corresponding "AIRPLANE WITH 810 GAL (3,065 L) AUXILIARY FUEL TANK IN AFT CARGO COMPARTMENT " (72,540lb).

When you pick the column for the aircraft without extra tanks, you get an MZFW of 105,000 and an MTOW of 124,000lb, giving a maximum payload of:

32,620lb or 141 SimBrief passengers at 230lb each with 19,500lb of takeoff fuel
17,620lb or 76 SimBrief passengers at 230lb each with 34,500lb of takeoff fuel

Thus I also include a variant without additional fuel capacity but with the increased weight limits corresponding to that version (MZFW of 106,500 and MTOW of 135,000), for a maximum payload of:

34,120lb or 148 SimBrief passengers at 230lb each with 28,500lb of takeoff fuel
28,120lb or 122 SimBrief passengers at 230lb each with 34,500lb of takeoff fuel

Since neither weight variant can accommodate 149 passengers (FAA exit limit) at 230lb, I set the passenger capacity to 134 seats ("typical" capacity for all-economy at 6-abreast). This is easily adjustable in either direction on your end.

I also added an intermediate version with an MTOW of 130,000lb (middle column) just because I can.

I also recommend opening one link at a time, as opening multiple links in quick succession before
saving all airframes at the end may sometimes result in profiles accidentally overwriting each other.
