I have a towing idea.

Just tie into the tilt wiring of the dinghy OB and radio control the tilt function while under way. In following seas just lower the lower unit down until it presented enough drag to control the dink re directional stability and speed on the face of waves. Raise the lower unit for normal running and minimum drag.

Should be easy enough to rig up w model radio control hardware.

I have thoughts about towing my 16' 40hp aluminum skiff behind my 30' Willard. Pulling alongside the mother boat should work fine w several ball fenders.
