As my wife and I continue to prepare for a trip to the San Juan islands this summer, I have a dinghy question.
Our boat is a 25 foot Acadia with a deep keel. We travel with 2-60 pound dogs.We have a 10 foot inflatable we may either tow or store on the roof over our deck. My question is this; I have a 46 pound trolling motor. I do not know if that is enough trust for the tender with myself, wife and two dogs, we are like 500 pounds. It would be very convenient to use, but I wonder if it has enough thrust for our combined wait and the tidal currents from moorings to the islands.
So is it recommended that this would be ok to use or should I look for a small outboard motor?
