I had my sights on a Showdown this year as a backup to my LX-5 but went with a VX-1P since the Showdown increased their price this year. I almost bought the VX-1P from FF a few weeks ago but found out it was an older model so I bought the new model today at the big C for $245, after a discount coupon and my daughter opening up a charge card. I was happy with the price but I purchased the second to the last one they had and FF doesn't have any in stock. Is this because they are that popular or because Marcum has not generated a large inventory?

not really sure, but I bought my VX-1P 2 years ago due to price. simple with a good price. I got mine on sale at FF during the season for $275(?) what sold me over the vex (sadly) was the Marcum came with a soft case.

Most likely that is all FF ordered from Marcum. Bet if you go back the shelves will be restocked.

I bought my son one for X-mas at FF for $239 a couple weeks ago. I have the VX-1 from a couple years ago with 600 watts and love it. The only problem was he was hogging it all the time and outfishing me. Problem solved. Now he has one with 1000 watts and cheaper then the one I have.

      Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
