Skin-on-Frame: lightest

I'm building a stripper but would like to see you all argue about what is the lightest reasonable kayak possible using stitch and glue or skin on frame technology. It wouldn't need to be really durable or strong, but it would need to be a rather large design, I'm 6'3", 220. I know that sof yaks are usually lighter, but I'd like to see how light both designs could be made, a fun next project for me. Let the war begin.
