BFSC Kevin Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Im looking at a maxxum 50lb but currently have the endura 30. Is it worth it grabbing the maxxum? only reason for me to purchase it is because of the maximizer feature and the more thrust. i've used the endura only twice and it seems to be sufficient though. but who doesn't want a better toy
BFSC Kevin Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Posted February 18, 2007 aswell, the maxxum has the weedless prop 2, tilt tiller and 6inch long shaft.
Mike the Pike Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 For me I would not buy the endura I have a minnekota 46lbs of thrust with a maximiser. when fishing with my buddies on a lake for trout .(electric motors only)my batterie lasts almost twice as long as there enduras.As for the weedless prop which I have it is not totally weedless if you get into the thick weeds you will have to take some weeds off.Spend the extra money on the maxxum and you will use the oars less.unless you want the exercise.MTP
taper Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 My bow mount has the maximizer feature and I do think it gives more run time on the same charge level which is great as long as the cost of the upgrade isn't too much.
jediangler Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Go for the variable speed control model rather than the one with 5 forward speeds and 3 reverse. It's much nicer to dial in the exact speed you need to control a drift or fight a current. It almost doubles the price but it's worth it in my opinion.
setomonkey Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Quite the coincidence, I was making a decision about buying a Maxxum vs. Endura, and decided on the Maxxum for the variable speed control and longer battery life. It cost more but I wanted the option. Mike
BFSC Kevin Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Posted February 18, 2007 i wont be buying the maxxum, maybe wait for a really good deal on the maxxum, my endura sells or get rich
Cookslav Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Have Never used a maxxum...but I like my endura just fine. No complaints. Plenty of power and the battery life seems to be alright as well. But if I compared one maybe I'd be inclined to switch?
