Square Stern North Canoe

Hello everyone, this year I suddenly wanted to build a flat tailed canoe. It's not just pointed on both sides, but with a 90 centimeter V-shaped bottom on one side, rounded in the middle, and flat at the tail to facilitate the installation of thrusters. However, I haven't found any similar canoe construction messages on the forum. I don't know if you have any similar links or pictures for me to refer to. You know that few people in China play canoes, and sometimes they have some ideas but dare not boldly implement them. Thank you very much,By searching, I found out that it should be called a cargo ship canoe or a square tailed canoe. What I want to know is whether it will overturn or capsize at high speeds, and whether its narrowest point should be several centimeters, because I don't have any drawings. However, I have a template for a previous canoe that can be from 4.5 meters to 5 meters in length, but the widest point of the template is only 90 centimeters. If I want to build a cargo ship canoe that is 4 meters long and 1 meter wide, is this idea practical because I am afraid it will overturn at high speeds

I agree with the reply that Alan gave to this message in the canoetripping.net forum. A search for something like square end canoe plans should provide a lot of options. Four meters is not very big for a motor with significant power. The 1968 Old Town catalog had some options that might give you some ideas as shown below. Good luck,

Benson
