I have the big boy MK2 Carp Porter. I'm looking for the power conversion kit for it. Doesn't have to be made by prestige. Open to ideas

Cheers

Just to add I don't want to the 2021 version. I'm not paying that sort of money when I could get the Porter and barrow for the same money.

Save your money up and just buy the one for 1k when you've got the lolly.

The all singing and dancing 24v has a different frame from your non powered ones from what I can make out - where the wheel attaches. Use your old one for lighter sessions 👍

If you wanna go down the route of arsing about trying to cheap out on a work around, I think you'll waste a lot of time doing so, as a member where I fish found out, much to my amusement.

. . .anyone got any experience with the Nash Trax Metro Power Barrow . . ? Don't want a huge Porter as it will encourage me to take more gear I'd don't need but Prestige don't do a compact power option . . .

Have a look on this site, Converting a Carp Barrow to an Electric Carp Barrow on Facebook

You may need to be accepted before you can view all posts.

Lots of info on converting and the hub/wheel from Ali express China seems like a good option.

This is the same type that Nash fit to their power barrow, although i believe it more powerful, only from what has been talked about.

I converted a MK4 s evo, into a 24v power porter replica.

All in including the barrow £450

Here's a link to Prestige's shop part of their site. Looks like a bit of a wait till you can get a wheel assembly and all the related parts --> 24v Power Porter Kit

I'd give them a tinckle on the blower just to make sure it would fit yours mate as I could well be talking bolloxs and it's a straight swap for your wheel 👍
