Second if you thought maybe I’ll just add a 2nd set of batteries for other motor, well..... now your up to 7 batteries in the boat plus a couple of your fat friends and full tank of gas and about 3 gallons of peach mango green tea, . Now it takes a football field and a half to get boat on plane...... maybe
So this scenario is not that practical or efficient either, you’d be better off using your kicker or main outboard to help bow mount control the boat
for that scenario you seen on that boat Arron , I would say the rear motor was for back strolling techniques and bow mount for all other techniques

On your mention of Second thought, Nope, just something I thought of while looking, and was curious, its cheaper to ask then to mock on my budget and then find out.

I checked after you mentioned batteries as said it has 5 Optima Blue Top Batteries with 4 bank battery charger. Does not say how they are config for charging. I'm going to guess a single battery for the rear trolling motor, and the starting battery is excluded, as it charges off the alternator of the motor. (again guessing as I was just reading the description of the boat)

Your point about PMGT is well taken. If its as HOT as it was last Sunday, I think I would rather have 3 gallons of fuel, and a tank of PMGT, a Speedo, and SPF 840........
Yeah, it was that hot....................
