Here are some more details. There expected to be 2 people aboard, still
water, the total travel distance of 200-250 km (covered over a period
of few days), and we have to carry all our equipment (including tent,
sleeping bags, etc.) and food supply with us. Would have to carry too
much stuff for a canoe, so it is unlikely that a canoe will offer as
much speed and comfort as you suggest. Plus, I'd hate to find my palms
grind to meat some 50 km from the starting point of the trip.

What??
You must be on crack to think a Minn Kota could handle that range over a
'few days'.
