Canoes are awesome!
Don’t lose sleep on getting the best. I’ve had plastic, fiberglass, aluminum, and Kevlar. Each have their place but any will get you started. Find something in your price range to get out on the water.
Center seat? I bought a sling seat for my first one. Lightweight and surprisingly comfortable. Made 2 others with canvas and rope for other boats thru the years.
