Difficult to say without knowing how the load will be distributed and how heavy... it might help at first to adjust trim forward vs rearward by filling large plastic water jugs and adding them at the front as far as possible to see the difference in glide and reaction to strokes as trim is adjusted fore and aft. When the canoe becomes too forward-heavy it will not track straight well, always wanting to veer off to the right or left, you already know this, still, just how sensitive the new canoe will be to trim change is worth checking out.
Some will like the canoe trimmed level for more responsive control, others, slightly rear-heavy for more straightforward tracking.
Paddling into the wind, shift loads forward so that the canoe sits more deeply in the water forward and tends to weathercock into the wind, the reverse for following wind.
Prospectors will vary with manufacturers with some having fuller ends than others... the fuller-ended ones will be less sensitive to trim change since either end will submerge or lift out of the water less deeply because of greater volume and flotation. Play around with trim to find what works best for you..
If you are kneeling with a single blade and the canoe heeled over to one side, that changes hull shape underwater and response from paddling level with a double and sitting. Myself, one of the great pleasures is paddling kneeling off to one side for control strokes, so I'm biased and others will prefer something else... anyway, hope you find your canoe a good fit, cheers.
