Thanks for the advice so far.

I thought about a dingy but they are big and heavy. A 15' canoe would be too unweildy. Though maybe I should look at 12' canoes.

VtSteve, why do think a sit-on-top would make your bones ache?

I do have some experience with kayaks, but it was white water, many years ago. On a river water is shallow and shore is nearby so exiting and reboarding was never an issue. ( I never perfected the eskimo roll) That's why a sit-on-top has some appeal.

Try before buying is good advice.
