They make a motor mounting kit. For a trolling motor. It's big enough for 5 people 4 is more comfortable though. I use mine to float down the Sacramento river. Which is pretty calm for the most part.

I bought a trolling motor c2 30 works great and on the river was really nice we have enjoyed it several times and great holders for your fishing poles

It is motor capable trolling motor but you have to purchase the motor mount package. Very easy to get ready and take apart. It is very sturdy. I'm not sure more than three adults and two children would be comfortable. My husband and I have used ours a few times and enjoy it we brought it for our family campout where everyone took turns using it. We have only used it on small lakes.

Kind of small for 5 also you should know if you get an air ring leak (which you will never be able to find) you can throw the whole thing away. I got one with a frame that a liner hangs in but don't get it too deep. More fun in shallower water with more space.

I have never "river rafted", but I cannot see how it can be possible with this tube. It might look big in the picture, but it is a maximum of 8" in diameter on the outside, and 4" diameter on the inside when fully inflated. It is very small; I used it as a replacement for my pressure washer tire inner tube, which is a small tire. Hope this was helpful.

3 hp or even smaller. For sure no more than 5 hp. An electric trolling motor would work too.

We bought the SE9 ...it did not come with a trolling motoer, we already had a trolling motor. We needed a boat we could inflate and this boat worked very well.

Both are easy as long as you have yourself a portable 12 volt pump to inflate and also deflate But just remember if you plan on longer River trips you really need a vehicle at both the beginning of the trip and also the end Have Fun

SLOW! Electric trolling motor is about max for this raft. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice boat but a gas motor may be a bit much.

Jim, my family and I have been boating for nearly 30 yrs. We have gone through more tubes that I want to count. This tube can handle any type of water condition. Actually the rougher the better, if they like jumping. It is very stable and almost to stable. You really have to go out of your way to flip it. I have taken my older boys around tight turns doing 35 mph and it won't flip. You and your family will enjoy it. Have fun,Don

Yes, this one floats on top of the water well with the least amount of drag out of all our tubes. You should be fine, even with this smaller boat, as long as your rider(s) are within the tube's weight limit.

Haven't had the chance to use ours yet. Purchased it to use on a 16' canoe. I would check your weight capacities for the boat for guidelines. I wouldn't think the 45 would be 'overkill' in houspower.

NO. I haven't tried it but from other reviews and using it, there is no way you can get the mount on the canoe. Good canoe for an inflatable but you'll have to paddle yourself. Also, of course, when paddling there is the back and forth sway of an inflatable. not too bad though

I have no idea what the max. weight would be. However, we have had three adults in the boat. As I recall, the box said four would be okay, It's a pretty sturdy little boat. Four people would be pretty cozy, but doable.

This is a great boat. We had four adults and one person pulled along on a float with no trouble and runs very quiet too which really adds to the fun! We had a marine battery which ended up working out ok.

I wouldn't recommend it. It bottoms out just trail riding with 160psi. Granted, I am 250lbs...Not happy with it, and if you're jumping, doubt you would be either. Just my $.02

This "Inner-Tube" is limited to "NO MORE" than a 3 horsepower outboard gasoline motor, I "PERSONALLY" wouldn't try to put that much power on it, I use an Electric Trolling motor on mine that has "Variable settings", you won't be able to waterski behind this. AND

I used paddles for about a month before getting a trolling motor, and it's plenty doable.Just make sure you get yourself telescoping paddles becuase the sides of the boat are a little high. With shorter paddles you will have to lean over a bit more.Windy days are a little tricky becuase the boat is flat bottom and will get blow around, so be prepared to paddle on back.

I've used my 2-person Coleman on the new paddling trail on the Colorado near Columbus. There's a shallow section of what I'd call Class-.25 rapids--not much more than ripples in fairly slow water, but still a step above flat water-- and the kayak did fine. The sit-on-top Colemans are somewhat wider than the Sevys so they may be a bit less maneuverable, but I've been very impressed with the Coleman's durability.
