How much does this kayak actually weigh? In the Product Description, it says 40#. In the Product Details, it says shipping weight is 25#.

I would say the 40 pound number is the accurate one. 25 pounds would be very light especially for an inexpensive kayak. we do like it though for our limited usage.

The web site for the maker of the Sun Dolphin Aruba 10' states the weight is 40lbs. I believe this is correct.

Well, I can't remember how much the weight was back in 2010, but the order says that the shipping was $9.99. It is not a heavy unit, in fact it is light even with the water in it.

For $449.99 we got the ten foot kayak that weighs about 35 pounds. Maybe you should call Amazon to clarify what's showing on the web.

139 pounds. I'm a 55 year old woman, 5'8" and about 132 pounds. I love the kayak.

The shipping weight is listed as 40 lbs but I think the actual weight is about 20-25 lbs. My wife is 4ft-11in, 110lbs and can lift it and put it in the back of our SUV.

I don't know. It was very heavy. The details on purchase should give you the weight for shipping...?

They say a max of 150lbs. I wouldn't recomend pushing that. But unless they are large touring kayaks and you're doing a very long trip, I don't see a problem.

I don't know the weight limit, but I have a kayak that weighs more than 50 pounds hanging from the hoist. It could lift and hold much more than that, I'm certain.

You know, i'm terrible at estimating, but I would guess 25-30 pounds. It is lighter than a beach cruiser for sure!

The shipping weight is listed as 35 pounds and I would imagine that's pretty close. If you don't have it on a reel and end up rolling it back off your water surface by hand (which we do), it gets to be heavy because of the water clinging to it. My 10 and 12 year old daughters struggle with it because of the weight and circumference as it gets rolled. They end up pushing it to one end rather than rolling it. My 15 year old daughter and I wrapped it up in plastic wrap and carried it into the basement for winter storage. It's large and bulky...works great though!

I looked in the technical details part of the Amazon listing itself-says it weighs 40 lbs. I know it is heavy, just did not realize it was 40 lbs.

220 should be fine. It says 250lbs is the limit. A friend who weighed 250 used our kayak and managed fine.

I THINK the printed materials says 150 pounds but I weigh more that that and I have played with it. This is a REALLY fun vehicle for kids. Got two for my grandkids and they ride it on cool-deck and have a ball with it. They can either self-propel or use the "wiggle" thing - We love them - only downside is that they get a bit loud when they are both cranked up. Weight - no problem ( unless for you and your husband ) and great design.

Steven, I purchased 2 of these systems for 2 kayaks. The kayaks weigh approximately 50 pounds each. They have worked well for this application, but if I were going to use them for something heavier, I don't believe I would challenge this system with greater than 100 pounds. Hope that helps.

The unit itself is not heavy . To me it feels about 3-pounds but I have it on a hook stand designed for it by the manufacturer so the motor part is never handled. Shipping now a days is a different story. We have large sections of foam weighing only 7-pounds that fits inside a box made for a case weighing 40-ponds but the shipping cost of the 7-pound foam is based on the cost of the box size and is the same cost as the shipping cost for the 40-pound case even though only a 7-pound piece of foam is in side. The entire shipping industry is this way now. I hope I helped you with this. Now a days when you order something, don't look at the total weight. It will always throw you for a loop. If weight is important, only look at the actual weight of the item itself. Contact the person / company and ask for the weight of the item itself if that information is not given in the description.

the 44 weighs 22lbs... Amazon sets the shipping, that is why the price is so low. If you combine product cost and shipping cost together, it is an extremely good price!

the weight of the actual package according to Kaytee is 27.00 lbs. hope that helps!
