Trying to decide between the uncle johns pirogue plans or the cajun secret plans. The kicker is the UJ is supposedly 35-45 lbs while the CS is 68 lbs on their website. I value stability over weight and was wondering if anyone on here might have experience with either of these, or even another set of plans that they would or wouldn't recommend.

The CS beam is 36" and the UJ is 31". Obviously a difference, but it's also over 20 lbs heavier at minimum.

Any thoughts or input is appreciated.
