Default Anybody know about canoes?

After a day on Loch Lomond in a canoe for 2, I am interested in getting one for myself. It will have to be small enough for me to handle on my own and put on top of my car or in the back of a pick-up. The canoe was stable and I didn't get wet even though it was quite choppy, I don't want to get wet but won't be shooting the rapids or competing or anything like that.
Obviously, I don't want to spend a lot either...
anyone??

have you considered that canoeing may not be the hobby for you?

Well I really know about kayaks, but my son is a qualified Canoe coach, so knows all about 'open boats'. He is back in the UK at the end of the week, so start asking questions!
