I've got a motor mount on mine, it's just a 2" thick piece of wood mounted about 9" of the back of the transom. You can see it in the video I have a 55lb Motorguide trolling motor on it and it does a fine job of pushing the boat along.

I was able to get some speed with the wind to my broad side (not sure of the proper term) but I lost it on the close haul.

I got it together, thanks for your help. I sailed it today with just the jib and things went well till the wind picked up, at that point the boat would only sail downwind and I couldn't do point to point up wind.
