Mad River, We-no-nah, Nova Craft, Apache or all worth a look if you want a decent make. Coleman are indestructible but weight a ton and you can still get the occasional Gruman which are aluminium

This one is about 100 years old, my aunt brought it back from Canada in the 1920's

I have a three seater "Old Town" Canadian canoe. Seems indestructible.

Do you want plastic, wood, GRP/ carbon or Ali?
Most you see are plastic - tough but heavy, hard to repair. Second hand ones in GC are nearly as expensive as a new GRP one, and new plastic are £££. Many used ones are beaten up, scratched and dented all over.
I've just had a new GRP one made by Apache, much lighter, not as tough as plastic but easy to repair. Much cheaper than a new plastic one. And whatever colour you want.
All depends what you want to spend really.....I was planning on spending low hundreds but could not find anything that wasn't a real mess and/or weighed a ton.
Song of the paddle forum is a good information source.

Actually not that hard to functionally repair - making it look pretty not so easy.
