Members Ken1949 Posted July 13, 2020 Members Posted July 13, 2020 Asking for a friend in the STL area. A new Motorguide or Minnkota with a 36 inch shaft, 12 volt, either 45 or 55 lb. trust. All local dealers/stores in the STL area tell him that inventories have been depleted for those lower end models. Apparently, the covid virus shut down factory production for several months.
jdmidwest Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I bought a new MinKota 55 last season and like it. Quieter mount than the MotorGuide 45 it replaced from the factory. No frills and gets the job done. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson

jdmidwest Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Just saw a Motorguide 45 on FB Tri County jet boat page for $200 used. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
