If you're open to spending the money on 2 boats, the new Old Town Discovery 119 Solo Sportsman is a canoe hull with a kayak seat designed for fishing. It's lightweight (56lbs) and maneuverable and Old Town's canoe pedigree is as good as it gets.
Their Penscabot line of canoes would be right up your alley. And OT distributes everywhere. Should be easy to get your hands on one.
ETA: 2 of those solo sportsman would run under $2k.
There's a good deal on a Mad River Explorer 16 FGX on SierraTradingPost.com ($1200 for a $2500 canoe) that you should check out too. I think total weight on that boat is 61lbs. It's fiberglass with a moderate rocker. It would work for your needs.

Rocker
Rocker describes how much upward curve a canoe has on its bottom at the bow and stern.
Less rocker, almost a straight line, means that the canoe will track well, but will be more difficult to turn.
More rocker, upward curve, allows a canoe to turn easily, but it may not track as well. It also will have some impact on speed.
Canoes that have little rocker are more suitable for lake trips, while canoes with rocker of two inches or more will be more suitable for turning on rivers.
