You can't do it. Stability-versus-payload is a curve on the graph where at first the boat gets more stable as it reaches maximum payload (about 275 lbs in the case of the little MC13), then abruptly becomes less stable.

With two adults in it, the Mill Creek 13 will just fall over onto its side. It's great with one.

I'd build two boats! That way, you can admire one boat (and paddler) while paddling the other.
