I am really not an expert but have had an Old Town Canoe, and single and tandem "sit in" recreational kayaks which I have used only on the Lake. I agree with Airdale, the kayaks, far and away, are easier to handle, felt more stable and are way more comfortable. I use my kayaks frequently, only my guests have used the canoe in the past two years.

They are quite different and a water test would seem the thing to do. Another important factor is where and how do you plan to use them.
