well that boat is rated for a 85 pound thrust elestric, if it will take that, it will also take a small outboard, a 3hp would probalb ymake that scream, However, electric is probably your best bet, 25 ta 30 pounds would move you around pretty good on a decent deep cycle bat. anything more then that would just equal more speed, and would also put a beeting on your bat faster. The sail looked cool, were it I, I would make a colaspable sail for it before I bought one, . if ya wanted to go silly, you could also rig paddleboat style foot cranks and paddlewheels.

okay if I used a 25-30 lb thrust motor, what kind of deep cycle battery would be good ? lightest weight possible ?
