>>2732379here is a pic of the two types. the one on the left is more traditional style, with a bit of rocker on the ends and higher water line. this makes it better than the other type for moving water. if you don't care about that then either type is fine, I just have no experience with the other so it's my preference for being more versatile. the other may be better for a motor or more stable who knows. if you find one in good condition for a steal that's the more important thing I guess.
