Myles has done this and there are other sites on the net.
What you will need is a long(sail shaft) outboard. I mounted an outboard on a catalina 30. The only way I could keep the prop in the water was with a special mount to connect the dink to push the Catalina. I would suggest an inboard solution to avoid the problems you will have in heavy water.

The Torqeedo 2.0 cruise would push a Catalina 30 just fine. We have one on a 22 foot duffy cruiser gets us around at 6 knots cruise all day on 5 x 6volt johnson wet cells.
