: I'm sticking with 4-oz as well. I built my NH S&G using 4-oz.
: It's light, strong enough for my hard uses and certainly uses
: less epoxy which isn't a bad idea. The days of a 40-lb+ kayak
: with 6-oz glass are in my past.

Hi Robert,

My problem in the past few years is the modified Yost Sea Ranger I built. It's over long at 19' 6" and still only weights 34 lbs. So...I tend to judge all boats weight compared to that one. When I have that boat and the NDK Greenlander on the trailer at the same time it's awfully difficult picking up that 65 lb. monster .
