With all the trolling motor brands and models currently on the market today it’s better if the dealership helps the customer decide what trolling motor brands and model to go with based of the serviceability and warranty coverage of the trolling motor for that area. Also it’s a huge overhead expense to stock a variety of every different model saltwater trolling motor available from the current trolling motor companies on the market today. When you stock a few Rhodans, Simrad Recons, Power-Pole Move PV, Garmin Krakens, and both MinnKota RipTide Terrova and RipTide Ulterra models you can easily have $100,000 in only 25-30 trolling motors. Then if the technology changes and an updated model comes out then you can get stuck with old inventory, and have to eventually sell it at a loss to move it.
This is a great series and produced by a very talented team!! Fantastic education of Sportsman builds and the industry development. Great job!
Thanks Mark! We appreciate the great feedback and kind words!
