Quite easy... The one on top is white and the one at the bottom is green...

Yup - they are the same hull actually.

It's actually yellow and black tweed:

but it looks greenish from a distance.

That was how a real canoe expert read your post... 8-)

Yeah I knew what you were going for... I think...

A bike is a bike, a canoe is canoe, a ski is a ski if you don't care any different.

Soon enough I'll actually post some trip pictures :D

OH! Well you missed some then!

The decks on the white boat are walnut, they are butternut on the green boat.

The inwales are scuppered on the green boat, they are solid on the white boat.

The green has a kneeling thwart, the white a standard thwart.

The green has a foam yoke pad, the white has none in that picture.

The white boat is showing the stern in the foreground, the green is showing the bow (but the hull is symmetrical).

Thanks for the tips!
If I ever buy a canoe, I'll buy a green one!!
(Green skis are the best ones too...)
