It weighs about 55 lbs. and I just don't like to carry it for any distance by myself. The cart breaks down and fits inside the boat behind the seat back. You probably looked at the current version of the K-1 which I believe came out last year, I have the previous version. The current version is much improved with a different bow shape, longer, redesigned frame assembly and a different non-shrink deck material. I understand that this version is much easier and faster to assemble. I find my version of the K-1 such a lengthy hassle to assemble and disassemble so that I keep it assembled with the flotation bags in place and partially filled. I car top it locally. I took it to Baja for a week this spring in the bag. It's fine to assemble it, use it for a week, and then put it back in the bag for transportation.
