Questions about Quicksilver 270 inflatable dinghy

Hello to all....and,happy Thanksgiving.
My question is, I just got a nice little "freebie". A Quicksilver inflatable dinghy (270)with plywood floor. It looks a little worse for the wear,but,it does hold air(so far)although it does have a patch or two on it. I plan on looping ,and hope to use it as needed,using only a trolling motor for propulsion. Mind you,the motor has a 60 lb thrust+-.
Question #1. Does anyone have any experience with one of these?
And #2. Do you think that the trolling motor will do for just me(240lbs)and my Shih-Tzu (20lbs)
TIA

I have no experience with your new boat. But if you don't need to travel more than a few hundred feet, the motor will be fine. If you need to go any distance you will need lots of patience and time as 2 mph is 2mph.
