So, a friend let me use their Swift Keewaydin for a short 3-day last year, and I would love to buy one. But, I only have 2K. If you were me, what would you choose? I am interested in a lightweight boat and going out for a few days camping / portaging. I like to kneel and use a single blade paddle. I’m about 180lbs, so a boat that can handle 300lbs would be probably the minimum.

There are so many options out there, but not a lot of used stuff near me (Northwest CT). Any ideas would be appreciated!
