Hi Phillipe, I ordered them locally in California, from a marine supply and repair shop. This guy has worked on electric units for years in the Sacromento area. Jon, were you just ordering lower units only for that price?David

Hi Phillip, the recent price on my minn kota 101, saltwater were lower unit $320, pwm controller $290, and speed controller $90. May be a bit less with quantity here in California.David

Philippe,the Minn Kotta 101s are popular with Psubbers. I think they are about 1500Wor 2hp.Cliff Redus has documented some recent modifications & David Columbohas just acquired a number of them.My thoughts are that a more powerful motor will be able to get you outof trouble in a current, & that if you are worried about power consumptionthen don't run them at full throttle. If you are just diving in lakes then currentis less of an issue.Cheers Alan

Hi all,
I want to show you my progress of my k-250 project. This is a picture of the main part of the pressure hull with the VBT. 
I decided to put 4x100lb propane tank mounted in saddle for the MBT. I need to figure now the mounting of the motors. I see a picture on psubs at the member projets KETO:  http://www.psubs.org/projects/public/136458097811909/viewphoto.cgi/photos/large/1364582668.jpg I think to put the  motor under the MBT with the original rotating desing. And the MBT mounted as the KETO sub.
I have a question about the motor. I want to use 2 modded minn kota trolling motors.  55 lbs is it good or I need more power ? 
Regards
Philippe Robert
