Will it take a trolling motor? Or is the bow too high?

An I/O SF20 is a pretty nice hull - it can be pretty economical. Notching a full transom for a 30" shaft would make for a great package, but lots of $ and work... Given your interest in shallow creeks with a trolling motor, you might want to look at an 18. An 18 is a surprisingly capable hull; I used to fish with a guy out of Dauphin Isle AL and we went everywhere in his including to oil rigs a long way out. It worked well in skinny water too and I think a trolling motor would work on one.

An old 20' Seacraft is a nice place to be late in the day in a 2-3 foot chop and wanting to get back home. I've got around $1000 in materials alone in my totally redone full transom plus time, lots of time. Ask me how I know . I also have at least the same amount of time and money in my bracket build and platform. There are plenty of guy's who have trolling motors on their 20's.
If you pay someone to do the work it will be more, probably tripled.

Jump in the water's fine, Welcome to the club, Glad to have you
