This may be a really dumb question but better to ask and get the opinions. We have a Four Winns Vista 248 (24') and have it on a lake where there are no towing options other than the kindness of the others on the lake. Our last boat had engine trouble on the lake and we were lucky enough to be towed in but there is a difference in weight between a 20' bayliner and this boat. I was wondering if there are any options for an emergency motor on this boat. I have looked at the electric trolling motors and wondered if one of those would have enough power to get us back to the dock (or if not our dock which sometimes is 10 miles away) at least one of the other ramps on the lake where we could trailer it out.
Is there some type of motor like this that is small enough that it coule be stowed and attached to the boat (swim platform) in the case of an emergency or am I just dreaming?
Thanks
