New Basshound Owner With Some Questions

just bought a used 11 ft basshound (I think it is similar to a bass tender) which I plan to use for strip pits, small lakes and Stockton Lake around the coves.

So my questions:

I have a 4 hp suzuki outboard...can I haul this mounted on the boat if I use some kind of a transom saver device and attach it to the lower motor.boat trailer? or do I have to detach the motor and haul it in my pickup?...bad back is the reason for the ques.

What is a good size trolling motor for the front mount if I want to use one once I get to my fishing spot?

Has anybody used the block on the back of the basshound to mount a transducer? and what did you use for water proofing the screw hole?

can hardly wait for the spring to try this unit out...maybe a 50+ day aound the corner?

anyway, thanks in advance for the help...would like to link up with similar rigs in the sw mo area
