Yes, there is a lot of places to put $1700 before I would go for one of these. The size would be more in line with toons and tubes though. These special motors are not all that expensive themselves, so it is doable by minn kota.at a decent price once mass production kicks in. They have to retool the factories and get a different mindset and it is always easier to flood the market with inferior products, doing cosmetic changes and holding out until you're threatened with a big loss of market share. By the time these troll motors are selling for $200 and minn kota decides to compete, it will be too late, and more jobs will go overseas....

.[quote flygoddess]Now look at the price. For $1700. I would go small gas and have money left over for gas for several years.
I am betting the Minn Kota price at $100 is because they choose to stick with the brushes.
It is a cool motor but, I don't see allot of people running out to buy them. Loaded with very nice extras and worth the coin for sure.[/quote]
