For me, it's strictly about cartopping. I paddle solo 95% of the time and need to be able to get the boat on the car even when my arms are tired. My tupperware beginner boat is about 41 pounds and I wouldn't want a boat to be any heavier. Lighter would be great. I'm about to turn 51 and I don't expect to be getting stronger as I get older.
