Just saw on the Garmin website the new trolling motor is for sale for 3100 bucks. Wow
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip!

The best thing that could ever happen, is nobody buys [censored]! Then the prices will quit climbing faster than a spider monkey. But, as long as we keep shelling out quid after quid....its only gonna get crazier.

I have been waiting to see what they and Lowrance are going to offer. I just about ordered an Ultrex a couple of months ago but figured as sure as I did someone would come out with something that would make me unsatisfied with my purchase!
There is always going to be something newer and better but I dont want it coming out weeks after I spent $2500!

I have one of the very first made, its 27 months old.

True. By the time folks are able to get the Garmin or Lowrance trolling motors, there will be motors that are 3+ years old.

I also dont see them being nearly the impact maker that the Ultrex was. I would be willing to bet that Lowrance and Garmins new units are gonna fight each other for a VERY small percentage of the high end trolling motor market. Now, if the Lowrance unit was comparable to MKs pricing, Id just about sign up. But, at almost a $800 increase in price, Ill opt to buy a Fortrex to have as a backup to my Ultrex. It only takes 3 minutes to pop a Fortex onto an Ultrex mount.
