if theres not enough lip, could you put it on the side of the bow. i put my minkota 30 on my pontoon with a peice of 1" sq, tube you could do that with two clamps.

I just want to mount it directly in the front. Would the boat move weird with the motor in the front /side corner?

yes it would but you could counteract that with the tiller.

IF your going to spend the time, buy a foot control bow mount. Well worth the fishing. I bolted diamond plating on the front and then bolted the mount on the plating. Worked great, I'm sure there's a ton of different ways.
Transom or bow, need to have it on the center of a jon boat.

Transom or bow, need to have it on the center of a jon boat. I'm gonna build a mount for it this off season for next year. I have a foot control but it a transom mount. Motorguide bulldog. It pulls hard and works fine in the back of the jon boat. But when i travling longer distances. It would be nice to just pull the boat from the bow since the sled would cut through the water better than backwards. I also can just use the pedal and turn the motor 180 and push it from the back. But i rather just run it off the bow for next year... BTW anyone really interested in getting an awesome motor. the BULLDOG is the $hit!
