Any creative trolling motor mounts on 231, or similar, out there?

I've seen the pics on here with nicely fabricated brackets on the bow, but I'd like to avoid that if possible up front. Looking for innovative ways to get a trolling motor to the bow or stern.

I'll jump in to get this thread started as it is a great subject.
Not necessarily innovative, But I'll share what I did with my MinnKota Terrova 80 bow mount
With bracket cover installed
This is the bracket I used, a MKA-32. At the time, I was very satisfied with it and after almost 9 years, has held up very well.
This is the bracket I probably would now use as I didn't see it available at the time I purchased the MKA-32. The MKA-32 is make of black anodized aluminum. The RTA-19 shown below is made of polymer material (probably King Starboard). I also like the white color which makes it less noticeable and the bracket mounted on the hull has a smaller footprint than the MKA-32 plus a cover when not in use is unnecessary.

Great, thank you! I don’t mind a relatively small bracket being mounted on the bow, but would like to have as small a footprint as possible. Thanks for sharing!
