Electric Trolley Motor

[MExcelsior]

Have you ever had a great solution, but can't find the product?

In short, I have an inflatable dinghy with a soft bottom. An electric Trolley would be great to make it to shore for us. However, is there a trolley motor that has a built-in/built-on rechargable battery for short use? It really isn't an option to store a regular battery on our current dinghy.

I've tried searching, but no luck. Has anyone run into a product that might help us?

BTW, yes we have oars, but looking for something with the "play factor". : )

Thanks,

Mike

I have never heard of a trolling motor with a built in battery but some of the jump boxes on the market these days have a very high amp rating so maybe one of those could work for you.

Torqeedo (Sp?) trolling motors makes one with a built in batt that is removable for charging. Be prepared for sticker shock when you look it up, they're pricey.
