I have a Penobscot 16. It's fast but it's narrow with a rounded
bottom and primary stability isn't its strong point.

Which is a good reason not to try to put too much horsepower on the
thing, the average paddler is unlikely to be able to exert more about
one eighth of a horsepower, put 16 times that on your canoe and you can
understand the need for prudence.
