I'll have to see how it tows, that would be the easiest, if it will let you get a little speed up... My toon is big enough it would fill the front or back of the boat... If I'm alone that's probably fine, but rough when I take anyone with me... If I tow it, I'll bet I'll have a wet seat to deal with, so may need to try it during the warm seasons... Thanks J

There are positives and negatives for any method you choose.  But if you elect to tow it I might suggest to add some onboard weight to help stabilize it under tow.  Also, don't try to go at warp speed or it will flip if it catches air under the nose.  Just to be safe, keep your rods and tackle in the boat until you are ready to get in the toon.  That way a flip will not be a total disaster.

Should be ideal for short to medium runs.  As far as a wet seat...you should really take care of that before you go out fishing...and limit your liquid intake before leaving.  Otherwise, you can wrap it with plastic while under tow and remove the cover when ready to fish.
