...i bought a 13.5' WS Pamlico tandem w/ rudder ....took out the forward seat ...large open , sit in cockpit, .....boat is rated for over 300# total weight...not the best boat for rough waters but it works, boat is a bit of a barge to paddle in rough water....this may be a workable option for you. IMO ..certainly fits the " carry cargo" requirement. I use the boat for solo fishing in bays and other calm waters. since the forward seat is removed ...i re-arranged the rudder pedals and rear seat slides freely to help level out the boat.
