Magic, may I suggest you take a look at what Novus Composites (NC Kayaks) has to offer? Check them out at nckayaks.com.

I assure you that these are the most beautiful boats you have ever seen and are available in some very light versions. My Expedition weighs about 50 lbs. The 17'-2" boats are considerably lighter. Let me also assure you that NC boats are fast, extremely stable and track like nothing else.

NC boats have many very unique features that make them very special and once you see how well they work and how well built they are, nothing else will do.

I think their recent sale has expired but I wouldn't be surprised if they extend it for a while longer. Their website is very thorough, but I can't stress enough that the pictures just can't do justice to these gorgeous boats and the craftsmanship that goes into them.
