Hi, I have had my cumberland since last July. Only fished it 3 times. We winter in Tucson and summer throughout the USA. I needed a 'boat' that fit in our motorhome. I have done a lot of reading here and tricked it out already with rod holders, fish finder, anchor, big yellow tray. Then I saw some YouTubes with electric trolling motors... I bought a 24# thrust over craigslist and modified my rod holders adding a front transom and battery case holder. I haven't had it out on the water yet but will in the next couple of weeks. I will report back. I also will put some pictures on the next time I unpack and assemble it. PLEASE report back on what thoughts you all have on motorizing. I looked and found very little discussion of this. As a 72+ year old senior I had more trouble than most in fighting the wind that was present the three times I used the tube so far. The fins were very tiring. I used only the less expensive and likely less efficient ones made for over boots.
