: Does anybody know how these two boats might differ from a paddling
: standpoint. The shapes are not exactly the same. Other than the
: obvious visual differences, what are the paddling differences
: between the two boats?

I built a strip, and spent a lot of time obsessively fairing the hull completely flat. It seemed to me after not too many hours with a long board that for sections that flat, plywood was a better answer. If I were to build again I'd build a hybrid with a plywood hull and a strip deck. Nobody sees the hull when you're paddling.
