Saw one at a boat show late last year. They said they were not being sold when I saw them, but they demo'ed them for us.

I figgered we would see them at the Houston Boat Show and Houston Fishing Show this year.

I think they are pretty nice. Come with remote and everything so pricing is good.

a friend of mine has one...he likes it...took his power pole off his boat for the talon...he said that "it gets through the shell bottoms easier and has not gotten stuck in the thick stuff yet."
I have not been able to see it in action though.

Cool thing about minnkota is that it adjusts itself with the waves, IE no damage or extra stress on the transom with swells.
