2022 Minneapolis boat show deals

[mhouge]

Hey all,

I'm wanting to upgrade my current MinnKota 12v 54" power drive (I already have a 2 bank battery in a lund boat that can do 12v or 24v). I'm seriously looking at a 24v Minn Kota Terrova i-Pilot US2 80lb 60" Trolling Motor.

I've never been to the Minneapolis boat show, but I was thinking I'd head over this year.

From the folks that have been there, does MinnKota/dealers give any discounts for this $1999 trolling motor?

Thanks

I would guess no. Call Reeds and ask for the show price and availability. You don't need to go to the show to get the deal. Reeds generally has free shipping also. 1-800-346-0019

[That Minnesota guy]

Walker Minnesota, they also have a store on the South end of Mille Lacs.

Sorry, I deleted my message (as I found where Reeds was located). Guessing we crossed the streams.

Just curious, why would Reeds give an average joe a deal on $2000 trolling motor? Are they at the boat show?

[That Minnesota guy]

Yes they are at all the shows. Just call and ask for the price and then ask for the show special.

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated!

You didn’t say if you’re getting I pilot link, if you’re not I encourage you to take a hard look at that feature.

Thanks, I'm wanting spot-lock (i.e., anchor mode). I run Lowrance finders, so I can't do the hummingbird stuff.


My current power drive is a re-manufactured unit from 2012 (came with the boat). The foot control works 50% of the time and I've missed countless pods of fish because of it (I couldn't turn around). That, and the head unit squeals like a pig when I get it to turn...and I've lubed every moving part.
