I just talked to my supply warehouse salesman and he informed me in 80# Minn-Kotas they had 80 Saltwater units alone on order to receive 12. Apparently the boat manufacturers get first shot on motors due in the US before anyone else. Just saying if you wait for a deal you may be fixing what you got. I had an Ulterra repairs 2 weeks ago for a customer and the shop (Minn-Kota Motorguide) warranty service center said He couldn't get parts. If you don't take care of what you own currently you may want to start.
