I would hope this would lead to the current models lowering in price, but what if they discontinue many of the current models in place of the current high end ones coming with these new features and a higher price point? Just look at how many different Terrovas are out there. Will all of these variations remain or are they going to eliminate some to be replaced by this new Ulterra? I would suspect so. In that case I dont see the pricing drop on existing much. The V2 motors didnt plummet in price when the Terrova came out.
I am not in the market for a trolling motor right now since I just bought one, but this doesnt interest me, not saying it isnt cool, but I just really do not see the benefit. A talon I can understand, serves a specific purpose. A bowmount trolling motor that deploys itself and can raise and lower I just dont see that being all that beneficial to me.
If I am going to fish skinny water, I raise the motor ahead of time and vice versa. I dont have a need to adjust on the fly like that, but that is me.
I also am completely capable of stowing and deploying it myself. To completely compare this to the talon is a bit of a stretch IMO. There are far more moving parts here than a talon. It just moves up and down. Neat idea, but I will pass.[/QUOTE]
