I've been on CJ when the weather was calm and the forecast was for great weather. And then the wind came up. I want a motor that can get me off the water even if I have to move slowly against the wind. The wave action on CJ can be treacherous. The same holds for Cascade.
My wife and I have an understanding. If the wind gets bad, I will tuck into the first sheltered place I can find. I'll come home when the wind calms down. The key point is getting back home safely even though later than anticipated.
You might try looking on Craig's List. I bought a used boat and motor last summer. The seller should be willing to give you a demo and perhaps even an opportunity to try it our before you make a decision to purchase. I'm certainly happy with what I found.
