Default Which canoe is faster in the real world

I've got a Wenonah Voyager and I am very pleased with it, it is indeed a
very fast fla****er solo, although one or two reviews on paddling.net are
overstating things a bit, likening its speed to an olympic K1.

At the end of the day, you have to have the strength and the stamina to keep
it moving along briskly.

As I get older and my fitness decreases, my disposable income has gone up a
tiny bit (unfair, really) and I am wondering, would a J-203 USCA marathon
solo move along more effortlessly still?

Its hull is 1 ft longer than the Voyager, but it has that wider diamond
shape, to be race legal.

I have read about large wetted surface area of a hull slowing you down
unless you are seriously fit and strong. Which makes me think, might the
Voyager be faster in the real world, i.e. if paddled expending moderate
effort?

Is anyone able to share experiences who has paddled both canoes back to
back?
