You're probably much better off getting a four-stroke 3.5 HP tohatsu or something similar. With a 2.5 gallon gerry can, it'll run over seven hours... since the built-in tank of .3 gallons lets it run for a bit over an hour. It is far lighter than the battery and trolling motor, since the Tohatsu is only 36 lbs. or so.... half the weight of the battery.
The other choice would be something like the Torqueedo...but it is way too expensive for what you're doing IMHO.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
