If you have a stern rail you could possibly use a mounting block to attach the motor. That's what I do. Here's a link to give you an idea: https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?p ... id=1878299

The fact that you have a Gasoline powered Tug. You have options as to where to store the motor. Assuming you mean HP 2.5 outboard which is relatively light (30 lbs). You can easily mount the motor using a bracket attached to a cockpit or platform rail. Or install a trolling motor bracket and mount the motor there where it can be used for emergency. Yes a 2.5 hp is enough power to push a 23' boat. Not fast, not against a strong current, but enough power to get you out of a channel and to a location that is safe to drop anchor while you wait for assistance.
An outboard motor that size can easily be supported by a starboard motor pad.
