That's pretty strong.

Especially if that's loaded.

Thoughts on motor warranty? The dealer offers either 2 years additional warranty (3 standard plus 2) or $1000 rebate on accessories and the standard 3y warranty.

Would it better to get the warranty or take the credit?

Motor would be a yamaha F150.

Maybe someone will chime in on their personal experience on the boat
I fished with Jared last may in 25-30 mph winds. Every guide hit the marsh for reds, but we told him to we wanted to fish for trout regardless of weather. We were basically the only boat that crossed the lake that day and his boat handled the chop much better than I expected. I wasn't too high on nautic star before the trip but I was impressed.

Regarding trolling motors and power poles...

Trying to hash out accessories:

What's the difference between ST and SP series trolling motors from Minn Kota? We're leaning towards trolling motor and power pole right now but I want to keep the option of ipilot available for the future. Both series's noted above can be upgraded to ipilot.

Which brings me to power pole. What is the difference between the sportsman, professional, and signature series power poles?

I'm getting my power pole pro 2 installed tomorrow, from my understanding and research the sportsman is cheaper made and not powder coated and has a slower pump. The pro is powder coated and has a faster pump and wireless remotes as the blade series has available 10' length but requires a brace bracket also and is basically the same but has a slim design and maybe a different pump not sure but for the everyday fisherman I'd go with the pro series it's only 200$ more then the sportsman.

ST has a more robust stow and deploy system with an auto shut-off switch when stowed. SP comes in the 55 and 70 lb thrust only, really about it.

Thanks. The info on both websites is lacking.

If looks like all powerpoles come with the wireless remote for deployment.

And yes, I can't find much difference between the two trolling motors other than the launch system and the more expensive one has a button that jumps you straight to top speed.
