Minkota or Motorguide

[fishfighter]

I am in need of a bow mount trolling motor to put on my 16-50 xpress boat, my question is as the title states which is a better trolling motor minkota or motorguide, and i would imagine there isn't much if any difference between the ones for sale at walmart compared to elsewhere, walmart has a 12v 54lb motorguide for $298 with 1year warranty, i am going to look around the lafayette area to see what is available

My next will be a motorguide

Check with Mike's in Henderson. Always has something available and in great condition.

well i found me a good deal on a used motorguide 71lb, should work pretty good on my aluminum 16footer

Have the Riptide SM 80 lb on 18 ft aluminum and moves the boat really well almost get on step throws a wake behind the boat
