Your pictures aren't coming through.
Just be sure and check your welds often. I would think covering the frame could create more of a problem specially if ANY water got in.
Sanding, primer and painting is the best bet.
I am going t add one observation. I have been tooning for a long while. The idea and beauty of a toon is the small foot print it lays on the water. It cuts through the water like waterskis. Buy adding bumpers or whatever you are increasing that foot print meaning more drag. That is why a pontoon cuts through water better than a float tube.
Granted, adding the bumpers going the same direction as the toon will help, but it is still a larger foot print/water resistance.
A good example was my Cardiac Canyon versus the Outcast Double..... the CC moved much easier.
Now short jaunts and the fact you don't plan on using it often, I answer with, you CAN add a motor to anything. But, long haul, I would definitely look for a better built boat.
Just remember to follow coast guard laws, and be sure and have a whistle, rope, PFD and license the boat.
