Good morning everyone.  I'm an avid kayak angler that has been to the BWCA once, but am looking to make it an annual (or more) trip from now on.  I also want to do some weekend camping/canoe trips closer to home.  On my 2018 BWCA trip I used a Jackson Kayak Kilroy, a sit inside fishing kayak that weighs around 70 pounds.  So I'm looking for something more portage friendly.  My dilemna is choosing not just a model, but a type of canoe.  Solo or tandem, kevlar or not, long or short, etc.  I'm new to canoes so I have no idea what I should be looking for.

If I was buying a canoe just for myself and trips to the BWCA, I would go with a good solo canoe.  However, I do have young grandchildren that will want to tag along on local day trips in a year or two.  So maybe a solo isn't the way to go?

If it makes a difference, I'm 6' and 240 lbs and my budget will only be $2k or less (so used is an option).  I'm just looking for some input on where to start.  I've googled the snot out of this canoe stuff and the choices are a bit overwhelming.
