I am looking for a small decked canoe or kayak that can handle two adults, be transported on an Escort and be very stable. I liked the idea of a kayak, with its low sides and decking. I like the roominess of a canoe, but I don't like the high sides in wind. I was looking at the CLC Mill Creek or the Wee Lassie II. Can I just deck a Wee Lassie II? For that matter, can I take a kayak plan and open up the cockpit for two people? Any ideas, suggestions or websites would be great.

My main criteria are in order of preference: stability (initial and final), room to carry a day pack for two adults, total capacity of at least 400 lbs, as short as possible, tracking, low in the water so wind doesn't significantly affect the boat, speed.
