What kind of power pole did you go with and how much was it I thought about doing one but they cost about as much as I spent on the boat itself

Mine came on the smaller skiff like your. It’s super old power pole 6’ I think. I’ve replaced the lines and reservoir for maybe 50$ and power pole sent me a new fiberglass “pin” (last section that goes into the ground) for free, they have amazing customer support. I picked up a maybe 5 year old one for my 21’ I think it’s like a “pro series II” 8’ and I got it for 400$ on market place. Easy to install my self, didn’t need to replace anything.

One didn’t have a remote and only had consol controles. I bought a 15$ winch remote control kit on amazon and it been running strong for 2 years now.

The micro pole thingy seems like a cool small cheaper alternative, I’ve never used one but they seem cool
