There is a local kayak shop that has the motor. I am going to ask them how much additional it would be to do an install.

one problem I am seeing is the installation looks super complicated. Can’t I just hook it up to the battery once it’s mounted and be done?

Yea I might just get the terrova. It seems pretty sweet based on what I’ve been seeing today. I wouldn’t want to cut a shaft especially since some are composite. It would also probably void the warranty as well. I’ve never had anything more than a $150 basic minn kits so I was t aware of what motors in general seem to cost. i saw that but it doesn’t seem to be available yet. It does look sweet though!

Thanks. If fully kitted out it looks like this-it does look like the bow mount on this picture is a motor guide to me. I will have to check marketplace to see if I can find a deal. The problem like you said is shaft lengths on many are 55 or 70 inch.

I am looking for a spot lock bow trolling motor for my inflatable SUP to help with wind/current. So far the cheapest option I am finding new is a minn kota powerdrive, but refurbished ones seem to go for only about 200 less for 1000-1100. Are there cheaper ways to get a spot lock motor bow motor for a kayak, and if so how/where?

I want to try this F1.5 BFS model

impressions?

I am looking into getting a Sierra BFS as my first BFS rod. Can anyone comment on the differences between the 701, 700, and 740? I will be using it for just ned rig-I know the 0 power have a solid carbon tip whereas the 1 power is a normal tubular blank.

current orochi line was released in 2018 think these are the refresh

The other rod I want to consider is the 72M arena-but I haven't been able to find it on a JDM site.

299 shipped I am torn between this one and a P5 dark sleeper. This looks way cooler, but the dark sleeper may be a more versatile rod.

I was thinking about the bandersnatch

These have been out awhile but still haven't heard much about them. Does anyone have experience with them? They seem a little cheaper than a JDM destroyer. Some of the coolest looking rods I've ever seen for sure. https://jdmtackleheaven.com/products/megabass-orochi-x10-f5-70xt-bandersnatch

I think the 76Medium model looks really interesting.

seems like people think it is priced out of it's own league
