Straight Up Kayaks

What is the average weight of canoes, kayaks, and rowboats?

Which one would be easiest to be carried about 250' to the river's edge by one person?

1. canoes, kayaks one person easy row boat might take 4 to 6
2. Kayaks can be anywhere from 35-60 lbs on average. Good Kayaks are made of light layered poly/plastics (like mine). The lightest Kayaks are expensive and are made out of carbon fiber etc. and are painted and hence can be easily damaged. Canoes are heavy at 70-100 lbs, also tandem Kayaks can way this much as well. Rowboats are fairly light in some cases when smaller and made from aluminum. Average weight is 50-60 lbs. A great website : paddling.net
3. Kayak or light weight canoe. The kayak will be the most fun. Rowboats will not be able to be carried by one person.
