I have a Lund 1800 fisherman. It has a 150 and a 9 hp. I also have a 24 volt Elec on the Bow. My Boat is a very dry ride evan in big wind. My boat was made to drift as a walleye boat and it will drift nose down wind at about a 45 degree angle and you can cross the whole lake that way and the boat will never spin around. Wonderful for drifting lindy rigs or bottom bouncers. Now for the bad news. When I troll in heavy wind my Lund is a pain in the ass! I always put gear in the bow and keep the fuel cell full. I mostly fish alone and i have installed rails for rod holders so my poles are in hands reach of the wheel. This is because I cant evan move from that spot while trolling in much wind. I feel like I am talking smack about my girl friend but that is the way it is. I dont know your model. mine is aluminum and tall. I don't think you can have the low wind resistance of a bass type Glass boat and the big wave dry ride the tall boats give you.
