Morning Gary

Would like to supply you with some info here but your question is a bit confusing?

All trolling / electric motors are removable. If the boat was used to ski with in the past i assume it still has a petrol motor on it?

I would suggest a trolling motor of 40 - 50 lbs. Jarvis Marine is my favourite choice in trolling units.

Last but not least you still have the option of hand - or foot control trolling.

the boat is a "bow rider type" with seats in the nose so i suppose mounting a motor on the nose is not possible?

Nothing is impossible bud, you'll perhaps just have to invent a bit of a custom mount that might need to be fastened to the floor under the seats with say a nose and loop anchoring system on the front side of the hull..., you could always install a temporary deck plate made from marine ply that could fit the space snuggly and remove it when used for family outings etc.
