Seriously the more complicated you make it with motors and such the less likley you are to use it as often and the more likley you are to have mechnical problems on the water has been my experience. This is the reason I originally suggested a float tube for starters and building up from there. If you want to add a motor later than go for it but being a float tuber first I think and motor is a bad idea. Most likley you will have to register the tube since it now has a motor on it but someone else may know more about that. There is not a lot of room for motor and battery on a float tube not to mention the weight it will add. Also the prop would be close to your legs, fishing line, stringer or anything else hanging off your tube. Now if the motor is attached to your tube and you start to loose air without knowing it the shaft of your motor could shift right into your legs before you know it.

Good Luck!
