Thanks everyone! This is all very good info... here something I found at Alabama Small Boats....

You should watch out for high-density polyethylene as it is an inferior material. Alabama Small Boats does not carry any high-density polyethylene. This material is much more comparable to "milk-jug" plastic. it is proven not to hold up to the elements, cannot be repaired, does not hold its form, and is much heavier than rotomolded polyethylene. Coleman, Pelican, Waterquest, and other such canoe manufactures are the ones to watch out for on the market. The bottom line is this; canoes made of high-density do not paddle well because of design, and more importantly they will not last long.
