I think a 36v unit will likely bring about $1200. Virtually ever warrior tiller is sold with one, and I doubt most of those guys will want to go without one when they start to fail.
I didn’t know that about the Warriors.
There’s other threads on here that discussed them and a lot of guys don’t like em.
I’m 50/50 on them.
No spot lock for one thing.
When mine craps out, I’m not sure I’d replace it. On the other hand I don’t want to run to the front every time to drop a bow mount in.
And no, I won’t do the auto deploy bow mounts.
I had a Vantage on my 185 Tiller, and I loved the thing. I don’t understand why people don’t like them, unless they had issues with theirs. Which is not uncommon, many had deploy motor issues, I never had a single issue. IMO the Vantage was not intended to hold you directly over a spot. It was meant to back troll. But, I thought it is a great job for vertical jigging and for river fishing. Bow mount motors have come ALONG way since the vantage came out, so I can also understand the big drop off in sales for a Vantage, or transom mount motors in general.
I would put a Vantage on my 20′ tiller, but I just don’t have the room on the transom.
