I will be looking for a small boat for when I move next year to Alaska. The vessel must be small and light enough that I can move it by hand away from the tides, which tend to be very high. It must also be light enough for me to paddle by myself, while still carrying 900 lbs.
So...
Canoe or kayak? Are there any kayaks that will carry this type of payload, yet still run under $1000 new (and be light enough to drag away from the tide)?
If canoe, fiberglass or aluminum?
Of course, ease of handling, stability, and even a flat stern are all positives.
Suggestions?
