I finished my new Night heron 3 weeks ago. Here are some pictures. The weight is right at 40 pounds. The inside is 2.2 oz kevlar, The hull is 6oz S glass, the deck is 3.1oz glass. The wood is 3/16 WR ceader,pine,spruce,red gum,purple hart. Ash coming lip,and redwood and pine pinstripes in between all the different colored woods. I saw a kayak on this site maybe 2-3 years ago that looked similar to this and I liked it. So I changed it up a little. It is a bit faster than my expedition single and turns better but not as fast as I thought it may be. But I love it. It also has PPG high solids UV atomotive clear on outside (2021). 5 coats-3 qts. $300. This is my first time putting pics here so I hope it works.
