Hey Andy, If it floats and goes...
My flotilla is reduced to an old Grumman Eagle aluminum 17 ft "cargo" model canoe, a leaky 1-2 person inflatable kayak, and borrowing rights to a two person peddle/paddle boat of my mom's. Don't expect me to issue any invitations to a challenge race any time soon.
I think maybe one day I might want a small easy to launch/recover trailerable sailboat and or outboard runabout but there is no definite timetable for these as I have lots of house building and farm/ranch items on the to do list.
It that old Evinrude will still wind up nicely you ought to plane out pretty good if I recall your boat correctly. Plenty of motor for that boat. Decades back, folks would ski with rigs like that.
I am however, at a loss for reasonable suggestions of things to make for that boat with your bendy plywood.
