    Default Expert opinions needed!!!


    I goobered up my old Motorguide trolling motor last week fishing in Caney Creek. It was already on its last leg but the inevitable is here. My wife and I are headed out to Bass Pro today and I have a $500 budget. I am torn between the MG X3 or the MK Edge. Both are in 65lb thrust and both are in the same price range. I loved my old MG but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience, positive or negative, with either of those motors?

    I love my X3, The new unbreakable shaft and double cable steering makes it great. Very quite motor.

    I am kind of leaning that way. I was thinking of trying something new and getting a MK but I really did love my MG. I really put a beating on it. It still works but shaft looks like a banana.

    Get in touch with brian@BBGmarine. You will get way more bang for ur $500 buck. No sales tax and $8 shipping. Im just saying.... get more with your money. Minn Kota for me. I love the composite shafts. They r either broken or straight. Rarely inbetween.

    The MG X3 Has a unbreakable shaft with a lifetime warranty on it. Either are fine.

    Oops, the wife and I had already left before you guys sent me your comments. We were out all day and we stopped by Bass Pro. I went with the MK. Been using MG for years so I decided to try something different. Anything is better than what I have now. Thanks for your comments and good fishing to everyone.
