Hattrick,
The 70lbs of trust is more than plenty for the 20' hull. Your not going to pull skiers but it will move the boat at almost 4mph wide open. I have a 54" shaft. If it was rough enough that the motor was coming out of the water, it was too rough to trout/drum fish.
My motor is mounted to the Minn Kota removable bracket. I have the bracket thru-bolted to the bow. Never had any issues with it banging or slamming. There again, I don't take the trolling motor with me going offshore.
Thanks
Chris
