We have boat. Plastic boat that is! Pelican 10E, academy 499 out the door. now for all the accessories - nickel and diming to financial ruin did not get anything else, except for a PFD, some fishing line, 2 pairs of blue jeans. Am now installing new boards on the trailer....after I loaded 10 2x8x16 and paid for them, wheeled them out.. wait what!?? my trailer aint 14'. its 12'. Lowes guys very cool - they pushed them back, unloaded and loaded the 12' boards for me. thanks men.

questions about trolling motors for the Pelican - features ..
more money : folding handles
a bit more money : variable speed
basic: fixed, multi speed
What have you guys found that was really the best for you ?
Any regrets ?
I'll start Transom mount, and then move to bow mount.
At 6' 4" some things may mean more than to others ?
thanks very much for any advice.

I have a 10' prowler and use a 45 lb transom mount with no issues. You can turn most transom mounts into a bow mount by loosening the shaft screw and turning the head 180. My rig is pre-wired for it but I've never tried it. I don't think it makes much difference since it isn't foot controlled. Big upgrade from my 30 lb thrust.
