when i bought my kodiak 450 they only wanted 500 more for the grizz. should have bought the grizz, my kodiak cost 6000 and the grizz was 6500 at tousley, i think there was a yamaha instant rebate at the time, personally i do not like tousley due to my last experience with them but whatever.

usually you can get into a standard model for around 6400 to 6600. the camo and SE are around 500 to 700 more. Plus other things to think about if it has a winch on it or plow or wheels and tires, then the price will rocket up in a hurry.

bought mine in 2002, it was 6800. I don't think they have increased much, so look for the deals. just remeber, if you are using this for ice fishing, get after market tires, so try to swing a deal with better tires.

Remember if you get bigger aftermarket tires that tire chains only go up to 25" tires and can be a great asset on slick ice!On the other hand you could always throw in a few studs to help in the traction area.I bought a 2003 Grizz last year and paid $6299.00 without tax or anything.I recently bought a Suzuki King Quad 700 Fuel Injection for $6399.00 which was cheaper than the Grizzly price of $6599.00.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
