old town makes a good canoe. A bunch of the smaller canoe companies have went out of business, as the canoe material (royal-x), became really hard to get.
You probably know this already, but in faster water, avoid a keel. Slower water a keel is great to help the wind from blowing you all over the place.
Another good thing about a canoe is you can be a real sturdy seatback, which helps the back immensely during a long day.
That 49-lb canoe would be pretty easy to load and unload yourself.
