Just picked up new issue of In Fisherman (thank God somethings aren't PC or it would be In Fisherperson) sorry I got side-tracked.<br /><br />There was a full page add for the new minn kota trolling motor, very nice includes auto pilot, sonar and concealed transducer with all wiring running inside motor shaft.<br /><br />My surprise was that all the names in my topic heading are all owned by Zercom Marine. I know that price and quality can vary within a companies line but how much?<br /><br />Also they have just about cornered the market on fish finders. I don't have a problem with it, I just found it interesting. Don't you.<br /><br />Just an observation FYI <br /><br />With the knowledge on this board I don't doubt that some of you already knew this.

I didn't know that..Ya learn something new every day. I saw that MinnKota TM with all da bells-n-whistles on Bill the Dancer or one of them fishy shows. Kinda kewl, but i'll bet they will ask way too much for it.

I just ordered a Minn Kota without the sonar transducer thingy ( ) it would have been about $80 more. After calling the tech people at Cabela's and asking just what in the heck this thing was, I did find it pretty slick, but not for me. It sounded great, but the #1 thing I want a depth/fish finder for is to help from hitting the bottom, and the trolling motor needs to be in the water to use the fish/depth finder...at least I think? <br /><br />Still waiting anxiously for my motor...come on UPS!!!

Capt_Ultra, Interesting observation indeed. Price and quality vary by how much? What about the incentive to innovate? It's a small world.
