    Something new???

    Just got this email from Minnkota/Johnson Outdoors:

    On January 29, we're adding a new name to our family.
    Minn Kota, Humminbird and Talon work together to help you fish like never before. And on January 29th, we're adding one more name to our family that'll change the game again. Stay tuned.

    If MinnKota puts anymore of a hurting on Motorguide they are going to have to get a restraining order taken out!

    Got the same email. Asked a couple in the business, and they knew nothing. Hmmmmm. Maybe Johnny Morris bought them out.

    I promise I had zero intent on stirring the pot, not my style, purely was thinking of a boat accessory they don’t have that aligns with the rest of their products....

    It's another brand so I would say they bought someone out or someone bought them. I really can't think of what it would be.

    If they're adding another name......it must be some sort of "tool" for fishing. What are these boats missing..???...what seems to be in demand..??....what would make fishing easier and help you catch more fish...?? This will be very interesting come Monday.....

    Great job Johnson Outdoors....

    Maybe Intel or AMD to add some processing power to their units. I like Humminbird but that is one area that could use improvement.

    Agreed...just without the meltdown and Spectre issues please. Johnson outdoors doesn’t have near the cash to buy either though.
