My 0.02$.

I use a canoe.

I can "hold" my own in wind with a sea anchor (a bucket tied to the canoe).

I use 2 anchors and cmlock pullies on the river.

I can transport it alone, ... even though it's 17 ft. It can take on lakes, rivers, swamps and rocks!

When I'm alone, ... a few big rocks in the bow and I'm all trimmed out flat. I have no problem casting as I cast standing up

A pontoon would be a second choice (for me), ... except I already have a float tube for those lazy days on still water.
