Do not think that one exists. :) <br /><br />No really, what size boat do you have, how much power do you want, tiller or foot operated.<br /><br />I am partial to MinnKota.

Re: need recommendations on trolling motor

I have a 20 ft Lund with a 2003 Minnkota 65lb Autopilot and Copilot. It was expensive but it was worth the money. The motor was $750, Copilot $150, Batteries (interstate group 31) $85/each (24 volt) and quick detach plate was $50. I can go all day trolling with it and still have battery strength left. Would recommend buying the biggest trolling motor you can afford. Then you will be sure to have enough power.
