| i took the advice i found on these boards and perhaps some of the advice i should have taken either wasn't available or may have been deleted because it was not considered a "positive" post?
so it's our fault? lol...poor Sled, victim of an evil internet conspiracy! 
our editorial policy is to leave up specific personal experiences (positive or negative - much like this thread), but to not allow broad generalized bashing (ie., "this sucks because it just does").
online advice is a great place to start, but hardly the last word, especially when spending $2k on gear. get some suggestions and then use it as the basis to do your own homework.
what made you decide that the Motorguide Digital was a good trolling motor for your purposes? reading about someone's opinion online, or actually running a boat with it?
no matter how you argue the features and functionality of the 334 ... it bottom-line does not compare to the 25c
neither does it's bottom line price.
at Reed's right now the 332/334 is $600; the 25cCombo is $1150; the 111c is $1850.
why would you expect their performance to be comparable to each other? it's half the cost!
imho, the lower-price units offer performance comparable to their PRICE. i'm satisfied with mine.
i hardly expect an Abu 6500 to perform like a Shimano Calcutta, but that doesn't mean it doesn't offer good performance for it's price.
what you're saying is that you want performance only available from a more expensive unit; that's very different than "the 334 sucks"...you get what you pay for, and someone with a smaller budget might find that paying $600 for a decent graph and GPS combo to be quite cost-effective.
