Shakespeare Trolling motor questions

[Cudz]

Hey

Canadian tire is selling a Shakespeare 55lb transom mount trolling motor. It will be on sale for $209 dollars next week. It includes a battery extender and and tilt telescopic handle (not sure if it is telescopic.

Anyway, I know Pure Fishing owns Shakespeare but who actually makes these motors?

Does anyone have one?

Performance?

Please chime in if you know anything about them.

Thanks

They used to make thier own, years ago i believe. I guess they wanted to tap into the growing market again. They look alot like Minnkota, with some subtle changes in appearance.
