sparcebag Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Unfortunatly I think I'm being scammed! The shop in in Brooklin Park its on Craigs List.So far the motor I've wanted hes called back 5 times now and the First call was no uni sonar the second call was no auto pilot the third call was 400 dollars for a Minnkota 55. It started at 400 dollars off new price then each call back to me something was omitted from accessories but the price stayed the same! He could of just posted A Minnkota 55 at 400.00 and saved my time! He kept telling me he was out of the shop Plowing and had to go back and check! When I asked what motors he did have,He said this one for 400 or a 70 lb thrust 24 V for over 800. Well anyway my GREAT deal is no more.

solbes Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Bummer. I was going to say that was a smoking deal! Obviously boat dealers are not going to be the most competitive on trolling motors, but I paid over 700 for mine.I would hold out for the auto pilot at least. Makes a world of difference. I have the U.S., but have not hooked anything up to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 From looking at C's list, looks like Formula Propeller is getting rid of some of their motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
