Matt,

I am looking to build a canoe this winter for my summer house in MD. I need it to be capable of holding two people for short trips 2-3hr max. with very little extra gear. My problem is my shop that I will build it in will only accommodate a 14' 6" canoe. Which of your recreational designs could you adapt to a 14' length?

350lb to 550lb needs to be stable enough for a seat with a sit backer don't want to have to sit on bottom for stability. Doesn't need to be fast it wouldn't be any way at 14' of waterline but hate to see it be a bath tub.

The 14' Iroquois looks like it would handle things nicely.

You have Iroquois listed as a solo boat will it have enough stability for a tandem with two paddlers one 200lb and one 150lb?

I think it would do fine.
