I can't give you hard number data but I used both peddle and paddle boats. If you're a good paddler I'd put the speeds as about the same until fatigue sets in. Definately after 3-4 hours of steady paddling I feel it. While its not quite speed related I find I can keep a much straighter course in my mirage drive kayak. Going 5 miles from point A to point B on a strait course is a much faster trip than a snaking course at higher speed. Mike
