Not knowing the boat you're contemplating selling or your economics. Well planned negotiated purchases should allow you to have both worlds at your disposure. I like yaks but prefer canoes, of which I have two. Mainly because it allows me to easier carry a little larger cooler and more cargo (i.e. poles, rods, tackle, etc.) and I like a the little higher profile it allows me in the seat (with the high gator populations, in the skinny water, lakes and creeks I fish, is something that more than a few times I have really appreciated). When I fish smaller waters, appropiate for a yak or canoe, by myself I place a sandbag in the bow of the canoe and use a kayak paddle. I have fished many miles with that set up. The nice thing about maybe downsizing with you boat, if need be, is that with owning, a boat and a yak/canoe, you can still safely access a full range of bodies of water, without going all in on just one. There are good deals out there on all three. Good luck on you decision.
