So, are those guys rafted up with outboards helping, making the
skuller being somewhat redundant (I know he's not 15 horsepower+)?
Or are they just rafted up with their engines off, making his his
life more difficult? I don't see any turbulence coming off that
inflatable's motor...
Fitting up a nice set of proper carbon fiber oars would be great,
though I'm not sure where they would go. On a removeable frame
towards one end of the lw hull? Unfortunately that would give you a
huge effective beam, making it tough to maneuver.
It would be neat to have a bracket with a propeller that flips
down, propelled by a system like the one rick uses for his
pedalboats. That would probably provide the most power.

As a friendly coast guard as the Dutch have is not available everywhere to tow in the boat what would it take to bring a vis in manually if not waiting for the right wind and sailing in carefully?
