Johnson 6hp - flat bottom jon boat help
If you have it trimmed all the way down it will plow through the water and be slow. The more weight you put up front the more you will have to trim the motor up.

Bass Tracker / general boat questions
Stopping is the big thing. Had a Ford Ranger with big v6, pulled my Lowe 180W fine, but I could not stop it if I had to lock up the brakes. All 4 locked up and push you on down the highway. So would not want much of a boat with a Subaru Outback.

Trolling Motor Foot Pedal- Do You Mount to Deck?
On my Bass Tracker it bounced all over the place so I screwed it to the deck. That was for a day, hated it so took the screws out and let it bounce. The Lowe I have now rides good, I have never seen it bounce in ruff water. If it does it is so little that I have not seen it.
