  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?
