[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 210937, member: 3438"] While technicly the bow should be better for control (pull vs push), in your situation you may run into the same issue I did. I mounted a transom on the bow of a 10' semi-vee. I was in the bow with no other fisherman or motor in the back. The weight in the front made the vee part lower in the water. The boat would just fishtail back and forth. I also did this on a 14' semi-vee and it was still an issue, but to a lessor extent. Add the weight of a motor or fisherman, and was fine. Also, running from the middle of the boat, with extension handle, was better, just less manuverable, [/QUOTE]
