Interesting. This is the first R-84 kayak I've heard of. The weight 
figure they quote at http://www.ravenworksinc.com/tourlite.html is 55 
pounds, awfully light for a plastic boat. I found two vendors, both in 
the east, who quote 50 and "43!!" [their bangs] pounds. I think I'd take 
a scale shopping with me.

It should be absolutely bombproof. Great for boulder gardens.
