We sold the 25ft boat but still have the 7 ft inflatable. We live in a
city apartment. The old 2 horse power gas engine works fine but we
cannot keep it in the car or apartment due to its gas fumes. We are
thinking about an electric motor for the dingy. Any suggestions or ideas
as to what we should look for?
as always, thanks for you comments

I've been using a small 1/4hp Minnkota motor to push our 8' soft-bottomed
Zodiac around for years. I use a small 12v motorcycle/skidoo battery
that gives two hours of putzing around time before it drains. Great for
just touring the marina, going for supplies...whatever. Ditch the gas
pig.
