Hey mate to get the best out of your electric you will need to get a plate put on your boat and proply need to cut your rail I'll put some photos to show you how it works

you could get a transom mount electric with all the controls and mount it on the bow rail, have a plate that goes from the bow rail to the hull of the boat and mount it straight to that if you know what i mean.

darren is on the money.

looks like a sizable boat, and i'd want to keep it close to the center line as possible otherwise it's going to be a PIA to move about. with the paint it's a costly exercise. don't think i have pictures of mine, but i had the rail cut and welded a bit further back.

sorry double posted

actually i lie, here's some pics of mine.

this is how I mounted mine without a plate, cheaper option but a PIA to do up the bolts !!

Here's a couple of shots of mine, similar to dazzas. Had to get the rails cut and reshaped/welded.

Worth the effort of getting it done professionally I reckon
