My husband and I both have the X5. They are 6 or 7 years old and love them. We do have the older X5 frame with removeable foot pegs though.
I have an old Hummingbird Sonar and hubby bought a newer model. We bought RAM MOUNTS. The Humming bird mount and the four inch extension.
I have a bar mount RAM BALL on my foot peg and Transducer mounted off the back of the rear deck.
Here is the mount in bottom left:

Here is Transducer

I still use this set up but because I have other frameless models I have made a mount that is one piece using the RAM, a flexable cutting board, PVC 14", and 6' of 2" Nylon Strapping and clips.

I had a Minn Kota 30 when I first got the boat. It really isn't big enough. It will work but you have to drop it all the way down and it uses juice fast.
