funangler,
I thought of a tri but spent much more time thinking about an out rigger. Ama only on one side. The huge advantage is that then one can tie to a float and disembark gracefully. And reach out to put stuff on the float before stepping off.
Another problem w towing most any open boat is shipping water bit by bit from slop and spray. When it's choppy a bilge bump would be almost a necessity.
With a battery, an attached OB and fuel a canoe would be a great dinghy. I have a really big freight canoe that would be perfect but this one I'd really hate to loose. It's 41" wide, 17" deep and made of Kevlar. Has a small square stern and cruises at 10 knots w 6 to 8hp.
But I have a regular FG canoe that I could experiment with.
