[QUOTE="ATW, post: 412253, member: 12477"] As stated in an earlier post, I had Minn Kota All Terrain 55 in a 52" shaft that I bought last year for $225. I've never had this boat in the water but based on research, a 52" shaft is overkill for a foot control in a jon. I ended up selling it to my neighbor for $300 and found a 2015 Minn Kota Edge 45 in a 42" shaft on Craigslist for $275-- I got it for $225. I riveted my jon boat trolling motor bracket to the front bow, but not before sanding the edges and contact points down to bare metal as I want to have this welded on eventually. I had a Minn Kota plug and socket for this too.
