it is pretty light. Less than 100 lb. I carry it with my mini-van. I can do put it to the top of the car by myself, although getting help from others will be nice
It was just $300 from Dick's sports. And I made the stabilizer bar myself, (cost about $20). It is good for small ponds and rivers (maybe not in Lake Michigan
)
If you guys want to ride it with me in fishing trip, let me know.
