14' Eldo Craft Aluminum Bass Boat
Review by Ph -
The Minn Kota Edge 45 is the best trolling motor I've had yet on this boat! It is a 1974 model boat and this is the 5th trolling motor I've been through . This is by far the quietest, most powerful and easiest to operate of all the trolling motors I've owned. (Posted on 4/13/12) (Posted on November 1, 2012)Overall Rating
