    There will be a new model of Minnkota with a built-in MEGA DI transducer for Humminbird MEGA SI and MEGA DI units.

    It is no rumor, it was officially announced.

    Fellow's, here the hard, cold facts of life.

    Every time you buy something electronic- trolling motor, depth finder, camera, computer, it doesn't matter, some one is designing the next one. Some where in Eufala, someone is designing the next Humminbirds, and the next MK's. Unless you are seriously wealthy, or have great sponsors, everything you have will be obsolete next year. I spent a pot load of money last buying Gen 1 Helix's. Now you can buy both of them for what I paid for one.

    Brand new Ultrex this spring. I know next year they will have one that reads my brain waves, or follows where I look, and I'll just think about, or look, where I want to go.

    It depends.. Some times those 'facts' either 'cold' or 'hot' "fresh" "90% off" doesn't matter, especially when/if it stands in the way of the viewer's "confirmation bias"..

    Just like apple™ already has 12 and 13 ready to roll...
