I maybe able to help. You can get a bracket for the power pole that will come off the engine. The trolling motor I would go with 70lbs thrust or bigger. The 100 lb thrust requires 3 batteries and you will lose a lot of space in the center console but it can be done. Call me 8432374600 CRM/PIM

is there some sort of bracket for the trolling motor or does it mount right to the boat surface.

i looked at that boat when i bought mine…the bow sits very high out of the water. you will need to go with a long shaft for the trolling motor and if you have a t-top i would go with the 101lb thrust, even without the top you will not be disppointed with the extra thrust. you can buy a quick disconnect mount or mount it straight to the bow, i have the disconnect and use it often.
the power pole mount will require removing the motor and placing the bracket between the motor and the hull…this is recommended because the mount flexes with waves and such with no stress to the hull.
if you are in charleston, chris v of Charleston Marine does excellent work and has pretty quick turn around.
There is a trolling motor bracket on the 220 BS (see below). The base has a square cut-out about 7"x7" and is attached to the deck near with a lockable pin (just aft of the motor). The smaller square base is mounted to the deck.
Minn Kota has a bracket that works, and there is also a custom one made just for the pioneer. PM me if I can help.
