BOATS – POWER & SAIL

Any way to use a hand held electric motor on inflatable Boat?

So I have a cheap little $60 4 person coleman inflatable boat. I’d like to be able to easily go slightly longer distances with it, like maybe 1-4 miles, without having to paddle so much. Obviously this boat has no type of place to mount a motor. I’m wondering if there is any cheap way, like under $150 to get a small little motor that I could just hold in my hand and stick in the water?

I considered one of those toy like personal sub things that you can hold onto for diving or whatever, or perhaps a small trolling motor that hooks up to a 12v motorcycle battery? Sounds a little akward, but maybe it would work? Any ideas?

here is the type of motor mount for mounting a small ob or trolling motor on your coleman inflatable

Inflatable Boat $78.07 An inflatable boat is a lightweight boat constructed with its sides and bow made of flexible tubes containing pressurised gas. For smaller boats, the floor and hull beneath it is often flexible. On boats longer than 3 metres/10 feet, the floor often consists of three to five rigid plywood or aluminium sheets fixed between the tubes but not joined rigidly together. Often the transom is rigid, providing a location and structure for mounting an outboard motor. Some inflatable boats have been designed to be disassembled and packed into in a small volume, so they can easily stored and transported to water when needed. Here the boat when inflated is kept rigid crossways by a foldable removable thwart. This feature allows such boats to be used as liferafts for larger boats or aircraft, and for travel or recreational purposes. Other terms for inflatable boats are inflatable dinghy, rubber dinghy, inflatable or rubber duck. Zodiac is a tradename for a make of inflatable boat, but often has become a genericized tradename used to mean any rigidhulled inflatable boat (RIB).
