Points taken and understood.
We use our pontoon boat on a small lake for primary access to our cottage so it must work when we need it. That being said, I could paddle it ashore from anywhere on the lake in about 5 minutes, or all the way across in about 20. But as you say it would suck to go crashing into a dock at full speed.
At least I have an emergency cutoff for the batteries.
