How stable is a pirogue?

Nate. I owned a Sportsyak years back and did what are taking about. It's a boat that is usually use to get to a moored sail boat or carried on one. It can handle two people a dog six to doz. decoys. It has molded in seats and you face each other. Very stable. I used it on small rivers to Lake Winnebago in two foot waves with no concern. It weighted about forty pounds. I fastened shoulder straps and carried it. Later I made a cart like a horse silky and pulled it. A little top heavy. Back to the drawing boards on that.

Now if you wanted to build some thing I would look at a pram. There a lots of plans out there for them. They are light. Inexpensive to build. Carry to people. Some people have modified them for duck hunting.
