If it wasn't for Lake Winnipesaukee's oversized-wake problem, I'd have suggested a square-stern canoe: power it up with paddles, oars, or with electric- or gas-powered propulsion. (Including Lehr- or Toshiba-propane).

A neighbor bought a damaged canoe, put in a wide transom, powered it with a 3.3 Evinrude: even with an adult at the helm, the danged thing absolutely flew!

A local legend!

About sixty dollars Rustoleum spray paint: 1-coat; self etching Rustoleum primer for aluminum, dark grey, 2-coat; color Rustoleum your choice, and you have a newbie boat. Probably good to go with the Rustoleum 'Comfort Grip' handle which works good....about 5.82 at Wal-mart. Or, brush on a coat of Rustoleum John Deere green, tractor paint, designed for painting a tractor.
➸ While Sea Nymph is a good name, why would their jon boats row better than one with a pointed bow? (Which aren't so good in the slightest cross wind).

➸ And why the color green over "Sea-Tow" orange?
