I just picked up a Ventura 21 and will be doing a the similar install or a trolling motor. I have not decided hwich is better. ( Freshwater Trolling in lake ontario or smaller great lakes.) Mixed infor from dealers here. seems Trolling motors are more popular? any advice as to why you need a 10 HP for trolling? is this for Inshore Ocean use? Big Wylie.

The problem I had is whaler didn’t want to give info cuz aftermarket part the info I was looking for I figured out. I drilled a small pilot hole on transom cuz wasn’t sure thickness and what was in there. Ended up bout 3” with wood👍 Between the glass Plenty strong Remove rear seat will make it easier to get inside to get washers and locknuts on ss bolts Went with a 9.9 tohatsu 4 stroke and just finished plumbing it to main tank. Also installed panther troll master salt edition with troll master plus remote steer and throttle

Don’t think you would want to go much smaller if any than that Before I put it to bed for the winter I take off mooring in my lake and will make a few runs off the New England coast
