They actually do not look too bad and great price.

I have seen a few of them around and they appear to be working just fine. That being said, they are still new to the market and you have no way of knowing the longevity of them. With the Minn kota you have a standard of reliability second to none.

Might be better off picking up a good used Minni on Kijiji

X2 on this.

Shop around on the forums, classifieds, and Facebook. Tons of good deals out there right now with guys wanting to upgrade to the latest version of the Terrova.

The Motorguide Xi5 is also a great trolling motor, the older Wireless 50/75 were good motors too.

Personally, I'd avoid on off brand motor that people have to google to know what you're talking about...

The problem with them is that they are only available in 12 volt. If they made 24 and 36 volt units they would probably find a few more buyers. 55 lbs of thrust is not enough to move my boat efficiently.

I was going to use it on my 15' Jon boat so 12 volts would be okay I read some reviews on Amazon that didn't sound good lots of out of the box failures with the remotes and foot controls. There's tons of used coming out on Kiiji I'll shop around.
