I am gonna buy a new trolling motor. 55lb thrust, 54inch shaft wif Auto Pilot. The normal MinnKota one retails for about $600 but I was offered a refurbished (with warranty) Riptide model for 50 bucks less. Other than the fact that this is a saltwater model and that its white (which may not appeal to some), it seems like a good deal given that the riptides usually cost more.
so should I go for it? I won't be dragging my boat to saltwater but are there folks out there who fish with a riptide in the local MN waters?
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.
