: Bill, these boats have a pretty typical fiberglass layup -- Strong,
: but not heavy: One layer of 6 ounce on the outside and only tape
: on the inside except the 4 ounce cloth inside the cockpit hull.
: Abrasion layer on outside area is only a thin strip at the
: high-wear keel line stern and bow. I haven't weighed them, but
: these kahyaks should be approximately 40-42 pounds each.

I'm still not used to S&G, never done one.
