    need a trolling motor in central AR asap

    leaving for state at Nor Fork on Wed. and still have no trolling motor to replace the one i busted. I found one on the boards and paid for it, but the guy has give me the run around on getting it shipped. i think he will give me a refund, but i still have no t-motor. So, what I am wondering is if anyone in the central AR area has one for sale that I can get within the next day or two. I cant get a new one, cause of a tight budget, but can spend up to $400. I would love to have a motorguide 70# or so, 24 or 36 volt. I can do some repair on one cause now i have a parts motor, ugh. I also need i new mount, but prolly can get something rigged if i had to. so I'm calling out to my boys on the boards to see if i can get some help. you can im me or call at 501-230-0741. and if your wondering, i have spent a lot of time looking at the swap and sale boards, but the response time is slow, and would rather deal with someone local.

    Can't you get Gary Hubble to fix yours? He is at H2O at Sherwood. His number is 501-835-2929. He is a Motorguide and Minn Kota warranty dealer and a trolling motor wizard. I have a 54 lb. Motorguide you're welcome to use.

    its the analog tour, they do not make the parts to fix it anymore. thanks for the offer on the t-motor, and the info. it may come down to taking you up on that offer.

    He converted one of mine from analog to digital a few years ago. It has worked like a champ since. This may be an option for you.

    I had an estimate at about $450 for upgrade installed, and then i still need a new gator mount, I may still do that, but I have seen nice t-motors go for $400 to $500, so i am kind of in limbo.

    Give Gary a call but I would do it 1st thing Monday. He is also heading to Norfolk Thursday for the State Federation Tournament.

    agree with the above post, He as converted some units and they have worked great for folks.

    Fishing is much more than casting and retrieving and playing your catch. It's the wind in your face and the sound of wakening birds as the sun peeks over the horizon. It's discovering the magic in each new place and unlocking the mysteries that lure above and below the surface.
