[Paddlewise] hard hull / soft deck kevlar boat - anyone tried these?

I'd like to hear any opinions - based either on experience or gut-level 
intuition - regarding the boats described at this website:

http://www.vetterkayaks.com/

Basically, it is a kevlar lay up hull with a neoprene deck - which 
incorporates 48" zippers for access to the hatch areas - manuf claims the 
boats weigh in at about 36 lbs.  I'm interested in this boat for use in 
areas where frequent packing/unpacking might be needed - and possible 
portaging - like Boundary Waters or Quetico in northern MN.  Obviously a 
canoe is the normal craft for these areas.

Again, just looking for some opinions.

Thanks in advance,
Keith
