When I'm on the big lakes I carry an electric trolling motor and a couple oars.
That has saved me many times from being stranded out in the middle after a breakdown.
My old boat was a point eater until I got Pertronic.

I actually forgot to toss in the electric, but I do have a little has "fake Merc" (made by who, too--haut-soo?) 3.3 single. AND A PADDLE.

This boat, unlike the earlier one, actually has oarlocks, but the thing is wide, you'd need 10' oars to be able to do anything
