The high tech electrical tape cable guides might not make the production model. Lol.

Nothing about that trolling motor is worth $4000.

It would take an awful lot to get me to change from my Ghost to the power pole motor.

That means nothing, My son and I won a worker man's Tuesday tournament with a broken trolling motor one time.

I'll be interested to see it, when a production model is finally out. Will it be worth the high asking price? Bernie (Power Pole guy) seemed to think it was the best & toughest trolling motor out there.

Bernie (Power Pole guy) seemed to think it was the best & toughest trolling motor out there. There is absolutely zero chance of getting an unbiased opinion from any manufacturers “guys”. Ever. I will have to see what the guys that are early adopters have to say about their hard earned money going towards a troller. I know I bought the Ultrex on day one when it came out. I still have it and it’s been rebuilt a few times. I have friends with all of the major brands and models in their boats. I haven’t seen any with zero problems. I also haven’t seen one that I’d take over my Ultrex. I paid $2400 for the Ultrex and have spent probably $500 in the last three years making uncovered repairs. I thill think I have a great value in a trolling motor. I have less money tied up in the motor over the last 6(almost)years than it would take to even BUY a new comparable model. I’ll sit in the stands and watch this game for a while….if a friend buys a PP troller, I’ll see for myself if it is worth the wait and hype. I am a PP fanboy too! I have two Blades and a Charge. $6000 for that stuff. I just can’t get the troller for $4000 part. Ima wait and see guy.

You have an issue, they send you a new one and then you send the old one back. Maybe they figure they’ll just start out charging you for two of em, in case you don’t send the old one back.
