Our dink is a 9ft Grumman Aluminum sailing dink.
We use oars 95% of the time (with Edson locks) and have not yet has it stolen.
For harbor sight seeing we either hoist the sail or use an electric trolling motor.
This pushes about the same speed as a 4hp outboard , but with far less hassle.
Another interesting question might be , who has no noisemaker on board?
We don't , with no crimp to our lifestyle , although we flee FL in the summer.
