I have owned a royalex Vagabond for the past 4 years. The royalex comes in at 42 lbs. It paddles well with my 200 lbs and seems like I could take a weekend's worth of gear (or small child/dog) easily. It's long enough to get decent speed/tracking on lakes. Obviously, it will be outperformed by longer/lighter/stiffer boats in flat water. It's also maneuverable enough to handle class i/ii rivers. For the latter purpose, I can't imagine getting one of the lighter weight layups. It may not be the perfect boat for all scenarios, but is the most versatile one that I own. If I could only own one solo boat for all scenarios, this would be the one.
