How is Tackle Warehouse for pricing on large items like Minn Kota Ulterra's and Talons?

[tcbass]

 

Hello,

 

   So I started a below thread on how I had doubled up Tacklewarehouse gift cards with a Memorial Day sale and saved a decent amount of money on my Minn Kota Ulterra a few years ago.

 

Well, I will hopefully be getting a new boat next year and wondering if it is again a good idea to buy the gift cards at 15-20% discount and then waiting until the Memorial Day sale or any other sale with a decent amount off to purchase a new Ulterra or Talons.

 

 

Does Tackle Warehouse have good prices?

 

 

Are there other places that are cheaper and if so, where?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

I guess the issue with ordering such large items with high value like that is 1) damage in shipment, and 2) if there's a problem with the product, you'll have to ship it back.

 

I would personally buy them locally even if they costed a little more.   That way if there's an issue, I could take it there a lot more easily and conveniently.  Same concept with batteries for me.

trolling motors as far as i know very rarely go on sale.  i could be wrong though.  We don’t have a lot of places that service trolling motors.  ideally i would buy one from a place that also services them. knock on wood in 3 years i’ve never had an issue.  if i do though i’m on my own as far as repair.

I wouldn’t buy those kinds of items from any place that is farther away than I would drive.  Too many things can go wrong and need repairs.  My Ulterra has been back to the shop 3 times.  I get repairs and quick turn around.

K and k customs for sure. No tax, free shipping.

Give your local boat dealers a call.  I find they will be cheaper as they aren’t advertising the price.  
 

Shipping trolling motors can be expensive & often times they arrive damaged.  It’s a giant headache to go through a damage claim.
