Canoes are the last option for what you want.
Look at Dorys:
Kevlar Rowing Boats: 14-ft Vermont Fishing Dory | Adirondack Guide Boats, handmade in VT
Also look at inflatables. Put a 120v plug on your truck and get a blower. Much easier.
Fishing kayaks are an option as well.

I have years and years on rivers, stability is key.
