 need a lil input for a trolling motor
ok well i broke the ice i made my order at gator tail last thursday its an 18x54 extreme series w/35gtr i would like to get a 55 lb thrust scissor mount hand control. I have always been a minn kota man so i will probably stick to that so with that being said can you guys tell me the difference in the maxxum and the edge let me know what yall think

 Re: need a lil input for a trolling motor
I think the one I got back in Febuary is a Maxxis. It is the one with varriable speed control and extended run time. The one I had before was All Terain (5 speed), it sucked. The new one is bad to the bone, especialy when you run 2 bateries on it.

 Re: need a lil input for a trolling motor
I think the biggest difference is the mount. One is narrow one is not. I have the saltwater version of the edge, riptide SE it has the narrow mount. I have the same hull as you and it works great. I would spend the extra hundred on the quick release you will thank me later!

You better pray for the rain to stop so we can finish that fence.  Time is ticking.
