Help Finding a trolling motor

Post by yooper_fisher » Thu Feb 17, 2011 7:20 pm

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope this is the right area. Anyway, I'm looking for a 30lb thrust minn kota (the endura or endura c2). I've been watching my motor at walmart just waiting on my tax return to purchase it so I can get my new raft out on the water. I got my tax return and my local Bonney Lake walmart is sold out. I drove over to the walmart in Puyallup and they didn't have the motor either.

So my question is, does anyone know a store around the Bonney Lake/Buckley area where I can pick one of these up? I'm really itching to get my boat on the water. I'm hoping I don't have to drive all the way into Tacoma either.

Thanks in advance

looks like I'm going to explore Auburn for one tomorrow. If anyone knows a promising store there that would be great.

Auburn Sports and Marine. I bought both of my Minn Kotas there. Good folks and usually good selection.

If you don't buy new you can probably get a really nice used one of Craigslist for cheap. I saw a bunch of nice 55 lb thrust ones for cheap when I was shopping for a new outboard recently.

Good luck in the search!

Our Costco up here has had them for the last couple of Summers. It's a little early in the season, but it might be worth a phone call.

I went over to Auburn Sports and Marine and I've got to say, that store is great! Friendly people, and a great selection. Thanks for suggesting it
