Any recommendations on best place to buy trolling motor and have installed? Live in Corsicana, but don't mind traveling to Dallas/ Fort Worth , Tyler, Waco for a good price and good work.

Shut Up & Fish. David sold me an Ulterra Riptide last year. Best price around. This time David is installing my Graph. I'd rather pay to a good small business than a big box store or screw it up myself. I know that's a long drive for you, but if given the chance he is worth it.

Update: We went with Chris Davis who owns Lakeside Marine Specialties in Alvarado. Highly recommend to anyone in North Texas needing boat help. Can not praise the Davis's at Lakeside Marine Specialist enough! We were so lucky to find someone so knowledgeable about rigging our new boat. He did everything we needed, working everything out to the details of installing the new trolling motor, installing the depth finders and since our new boat did not come prewired, he installed a wiring system far better than you will get from a manufacturer or dealer. His rates are very reasonable, especially for all the thought and design he puts into his work. Most definitely will be using him again for anything we might ever need. Greatest people that you can trust your boat with!

Yes I would recommend David Goodson at Shut up and Fish. He will do you right, he is their for you even after the install.
