Looking for something easy to lift in and out of the water for my dock. Saltwater. Preferably two seater, if possible. Any recommendations?

I’d get (2) 8 footers. A double seater will be a pita to lift onto a dock unless you have a scaffold board as a ramp.

All the 8 footers are hell on your back due to the seating,just pick the lightest from Walmart or Academy.

Native Ultinate 14.5T if you can find one used. Fitted weight with both seats is ~70lbs.

They FX version they sell now (Native Ultimate FX15) is also a great boat but heavier.

The Native Ultimate 12 is stupid light (49lbs) and a pair of those would be awesome too if you can find them.

I see adds for placid boat works carbon fiber canoes. Super light weight but super expensive.

I have a decent one if you are interested in a used option. It is a 14'8" saltwater SOT that weighs 53lbs. NOLA area.
