CG RYAN Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Well actually just a day late. I am a big fan of Academy stores and they are currently doing seasonal clearance. Apparently they are not going to be selling power poles any more and were clearancing them. They had the 10' blade for $300 and 8' pro for $200. I was told they went immediately. No surprise there. I am sure they all went to the same person and I don't blame them. If you have an academy by you it might be worth it to check. If you are in the Houston area don't waste your time. I have called EVERY store in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBluFin Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I got a pair of blades and my buddy got a set of pro series for his bass boat. Had to hunt and search for the stores that still had them. Scored great deals!!!! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin-addict Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 fantastic deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBluFin Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 They were still shown regular price on the box, but we're on sale as of last week. My buddy got the pro series for $800 each and I got the blades for $1000 each. They were shown discounted online but I don't think they are showing them anymore. I know PP has a new 2.0 coming out so they may have been clearing stock to sell new ones possibly. When I looked at my boxes one was built late 2015 and the other was early 2016. I know the store in Orlando millennia had a white blade and a white pro series left as the store in Kissimmee also had a pro series in white also. We had to go to the store as most stores were not very helpful over the phone. Kissimmee held the blade for me but said they didn't have any more, but when we got there, there were more on the shelf.

FunFlatsFishing Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Just made a nice little road trip as well. Found 10' blades in Lake Mary for $975 each. Bought two. Now I have a 6' for sale. Taking offers lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBluFin Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Good going, I went to Lake Mary originally and they told me they didn't have anymore. Guess it is all in who you talk to at the stores! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlatsFishing Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yes. When I originally called they said all were regular price. I called back and said I don't think that's the case and sure enough it wasn't. They had them in the back. Drove from Tampa to get them. Thanks for the tip!

Miss Jazzy Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I went to my closest store in Valdosta, Ga. and they had Minn Kota trolling motors in the PP display! Lol guess someone had already cleaned them out.🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunFlatsFishing Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 IMG_8071.MOV Power-Pole recommended adding the reinforced brackets for use with the 10 footers. Attached is a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBluFin Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Yes. Mine are thru bolted to the transom. I didn't want them hanging back further. Plus my platform would have been an issue also. I put starboard between them and the transom for a little spacer also. When sitting still the bolts are above the water line and fully extended miss my trim tabs by a couple inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a fiberglass/gel coat guy coming tomorrow to patch the holes from my old transom mounted Power Pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
