I am new to the forum and not a Grady owner presently, I have owned a couple Ranger 620 boats and Lund boats. I fish mainly inland lakes in the midwest and Canada. My style of fishing includes vertical Jigging, casting shorelines, low speed trolling etc. What I am wondering is do people put Bow mount trolling motors on Gradys? I am considering the 205 Tournament and adding a kicker motor for low speed trolling and a bow mount for chore fishing. Can anyone send me a pic of a rig set up like this or am I nuts ??

Thanks in Advance

I think it would depend on how long of a shaft you would need to get the motor deep enough to work well. Gradys sit pretty high off the water. Also will the bow rail be in the way of stow and deploy? A bow mount would be pretty slick for the perch fishing we have in lake Michigan off of Waukegan.
