That explains why it was much easier to control with two people in the
boat....

One thing I did finally was to add a smaller motor in the front that I could
use for keeping my position. It was just a little thing that I could set on
low, and bump with my foot.

I kinda miss that little boat.

It's not about the efficiency of movement, but about directional stability
and control. But with light boats, regardless of which end you steer from
the secret to making it easy to control is getting the other end in the
water as deep as the end you are at. Otherwise, it tends to spin with the
wind and slide instead of turning with the motor.
