I like the Ultrex. What model you get depends on your boat set up 24V or 36V and shaft length that works best for your boat.

If you have a boat, get the Ultrex. If you don't have a boat, get the Ultrex.

Only thing better than a Ultrex is a professional guide.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

I would give up my SHO, my graphs, my kids, to keep my Ultrex. I've had one for about 8 months on my new Skeeter and I absolutely couldn't live without it. If you can't read between the lines...get an Ultrex!!

The only decision you have is what shaft length, how many lbs of thrust and if you want Link or not. Ultrex is the only trolling motor worth considering if you are looking for the best.
