When I recently asked local Feathercraft dealer, why did they discontinue this model when it was that popular, his ansewr was that 15ft Kahuna (35 lbs or 16 kg) would be even more popular. Unfortunately, they are rarely sold used, and used "expedition" version (with 2 hatches) is even more rare. Back to the topic, - both Aleut and K-light can hardly be considered as expedition boats. Eventually savings (on relatively low price of these two) would be eliminated by expensive light-weight and low-volume gear unless you already got such. And everyday loading of such boat would become a real ordeal in a multiday expedition. I wouldn't recommend practicing this for those without enough patience :-).
