For the ultimate in boat control, the Minn Kota Vantage 80 transom mount trolling motor is unrivaled.  With push button stow and deploy, articulated steering and 80 pounds of thrust, Minn Kota's Vantage is the trolling motor of choice when precision boat control is crucial.  When a hands free method of boat control is required, the Minn Kota Terrova  with 80 pounds of thrust and Universal Sonar is all you need.  But it doesn't stop there... this Terrova features Minn Kota's revolutionary New iPilot Link.  With iPilot Link, the game has changed and the bar is raised.  With all the features of iPilot that keep you on the fish, for the first time iPilot Link merges the functionality of your electric steer bow mount trolling motor with your ethernet capable Humminbird sonar.  Now the ability to see iPilot functions such as Spot Lock, iTrack and Advanced Autopilot on your Humminbird screen are at your finger tips.  You can even incorporate functions of your existing waypoints.  With iPilot Link it all comes together.

Along with everything you need to network these systems together, this Ultimate Marine Electronics Package is a dream come true to even the most hardcore angler. Valued at $8,000 CAD
