Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | How long ago was the Genesis developed? Since then, Johnson Outdoors has completely flipped Humminbird and Canon and developed the Talon. The technology advancements from those companies have been pretty amazing, and all dovetail.
Comparing the two is like comparing my computer from that era to the Alienware I am using right now or the Chevy pick up I was driving at the time with my Toyota Tundra.
Trolling motors are not priced 'outrageously', the pricing there has been about even with advancements and new features. You get what you pay for. I can still buy a nice bowmount for $379 for my X170T. Or, I can buy one with universal sonar, spot lock, a remote, networking capacity with com links to my 'Birds, and a ton of other features. I can still buy an Intel Celeron 'puter with two gigs of ram for $250, too. It'll edit a video...sort of. Well, actually it won't, unless I use the camera from a decade ago and am willing to wait for an hour for it to render.
The Ulterra took an ICAST award. So did the Onix. And Johnson Outdoors took best in show with a cool little boat they make. Not a bad show for them at all. |
