C'mon you sissie, just stand up :-)

I'm working on doing just that with my 18' Grumman.

She'll have a 2hp Honda four stroke and a trolling motor
which can be mounted for either solo or two-person fishing,
a casting deck amidships, a removable seat behind the center
thwart for solo use and outrigger pontoons on both sides so
even a big, clumsy lummox like myself can stand on the casting
deck. And all this will be easily and quickly removable so as
to convert this lean, mean, musky-chasing machine back into my
grandpa's heirloom canoe with nary a hint, besides a few extra
holes in the gunwales, that she's been "modified".

I've already got the 2hp, the pontoons and the removable center
seat, all I need now is to set up the casting deck and get the
trolling motor and battery. Hell, I'm even thinking so long as
I have a battery in the boat I might get a fish finder too and
mount the transducer on the trolling motor.

All it needs now is a nice coat of metal flake paint...

Yeah, and it all started with a sink-tip line. ;-)
