Hi all!

I'm buying my first canoe and there are so many and so many different kinds it's overwhelming.

Here's my situation.

Typically it'll be me, my wife and our toddler.

Mostly paddling around the lake together although we may hit rivers and streams at some point once comfortable. I may go solo and do some fishing and camping too at some point. Trying to keep it under $200.

I have kayaked and canoed like 5 times, but renting a canoe twice in my area is like the same price as buying one.

I'm on a budget, a real tight one lol.

I'm attaching a couple I've found, but PLEASE if you have guidance I'm listening, good makes, models, sizes, brands, materials, etc. I'm all ears.

If you don't mind let me know why or why not for these guys.

Attached are:

Discovery 174 $150 (seller has questionable reviews lol)

Sawyer 16' 1977 $175

Sportspal 1971 $150

I have several more I've found as well

Thanks so much in advance, any helpful information is greatly appreciated!
