Aluminum boat in BR

I saw this boat on the side of Airline Hwy today.
It was made in Rayne I think and I can't remember the name of the builder.
It is supposed to be a 20 footer and has the engine mounted off the transom.
Bothers me they named it "vibrator".
Does anyone have experience with an aluminum boat like this? Do you think a trolling motor will mount and reach the water under that rail?

I have an aluminum boat almost exactly like that
first thing I would do if it was mine is cut that bow rail off

Do you have a trolling motor? How much water does it draw?

no I don't
the freeboard on mine is way too high
you'd need a 6 or 7 foot shaft and 36 volts to even try
you could always put one on the transom

I believe that boat in the OP would have about the same free board.
Looks like it would be good in chop. Good to fish rigs and such.
