One thing to bear in mind is that in some states (at least in Virginia) once you get a motor, you have to register the boat.
Bernardd,
Canyon Lake appears to be filling up, but more slowly than we all would hope. Haven't been out this year, but FYI there are a couple of deep water ramps in the Corps of Engineers park over by Fort Sam Houston park on the East side of the lake. Used both last summer and never had a problem with shallow water. What size Expo do you have? 14.2 or a 12.5? Hope to see you out on the lake. Will be looking for you.

Afternoon All:
I have a 2011 14.2 Expo and am considering putting a small motor on the boat to be able to escape the dock and/or motor back in when there are no winds. I had a motor mount installed on the boat in anticipation of this decision. Recently, I have been researching different motors to puchase (gas and electric) and obviously both have pros and cons. I would appreicate any suggestions that you might have regarding: (1) getting an electric vs a gas motor, (2) suggestions as to size and type (Honda, Yamaha, Mercury, etc.) of engine that you might recommend, and (3) any running problems that you might have experienced due to having the engine when sailing the boat. My main goal is to be able to single hand the boat easily in and out of the water.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Scott
