    Well, I'm just learning Freeship, a freeware hull design program, and it appears that a kayak hull would be well within its capabilities. It can calculate some basic hydrostatics, and you can export to other more sophisticated prediction software. There are probably some example kayak hull designs out there that you could use as "seed stock".
