I’d say yes, it’s probably been done.
Isn’t Esquif’s Pocket Canyon based on the Sunburst hull, and it’s a great tandem canoe!
The Sunburst ends are probably narrower.

I was not aware of that. I kept looking at the dimensions, the rocker profile, etc, and it seems doable. We will find out!

Re: Converting Sunburst II to yandem
It has definitely been done successfully.
I had a Sunburst II that was paddled tandem on Ocoee by 2 ladies in a previous life.
My wife and I started out in a regular Sunburst but soon found a Caption.
The pocket canyon has much more volume, probably 3 or 4"wider at midpoint thus slower but very stable.
The Sunburst feels comparably slippery and svelte
