| Was going to buy a new power drive 70lb 24v minn kota, but i can get a used 65lb 24v for under half the price. Am i really going to notice the difference in 5lbs of thrust? |

Location: Wisconsin | no, the biggest difference would be the battery sucking of older models. how old is the used motor?

Location: Crystal Lake, IL | if you're in the market, you may want to consider getting an I-Pilot. Changed the way I fish and makes your life on the water much easier... If you can find one at a good price, you won't be disappointed. |
