bow mount trolling motor on a Grady White gulfstream

[Trorun]

Anyone with experience with bow mount trolling motors on larger glass boats like GW Gulfstreams.  I'm looking at the Terrova Rriptide in the 112 lb, 72 inch model.   It appears that the bow to the water is about 45 to 50 inches.  Calm day probably okay, any winds and waves probably not.   Worked great on starcraft 210 but not so sure on glass boat.  if someone has similar experience , please share.

I have a Mako 215, I run a motorguide xi-5 but same difference. Even in rough water it may pop out but I never loose my course, you just need to go with the waves in rough water. I had to cut my bow rail but reversed it and rewelded it. I love the way I can use my lowrance hds for auto pilot all touch screen it's awesome. I run a 9.9 prokicker for propulsion and just steer with the bow mount. It is very accurate.
