The below skiff >> Wavewalk S4 << is my toy in middle of lake Erie 10k away from shore.
This skiff has the same weigh as your toy but keeps my as dry and I can mount any engine on it from 24V Minkotas to 6HP gas.
Same weight but more heavy service. The skiff has a real transom in the back.
The storage inside the 2 hulls is large.
