[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5128985, member: 2871"] Catchdawg said; I have both and my kayak is much easier to enter and exit than my canoe. My kayak is also more stable, I can stand on it or whatever. The seat is about the same height as a canoe seat. Sounds like you had a “sit in” instead of a “sit on top”. You don’t get down into a sit on top, you get on it and sit high and comfy. Or at least with a good one, the ones from the cheap chain stores don’t count. Nope. I continue to stand by my first statement. For me, a canoe is easier. I currently have two kayaks, both a sit-in and a sit-on. I also have four canoes, each designed for a different specific purpose. One of them I built myself from wood strips and epoxy. It is a great tripper canoe and can also handle up to about Class III whitewater, such as the upper Hiwassee River. I also have a specific whitewater canoe that can go down the Class IV rapids of the Ocoee River. I have a lot of experience in canoes going back over 60 years. I have canoed remote wilderness in Canada and some places here in the US. I have canoed whitewater, and flatwater. Granted, my experience with kayaks only goes back a relatively few years, but for most situations I much prefer a canoe over a kayak. With one exception; saltwater. I have kayaked some along the Florida coast. For that I prefer a kayak. There are many styles of kayak and canoes, each designed for different purposes. There are canoes that you can stand up in. I have stood and used a pole to push my canoe up shallow streams. I used to regularly duck hunt out of a canoe.
