My 80lb Ultrex uses less current on an average day than my Maxxum did. It’s more efficient and uses only what’s needed to hold steady. Same here on same boat. Can almost pull ski's, almost. Have never run my batteries down regardless of the wind.
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.

I also have an 80lb Ultrex on a Z518...so you know it's got weight. Pulls it around no problem.

Went from a 12V motor to a 24V Ultrex last year on my 2007 175 TXW. No issues and the Ultrex is AWESOME!

Would I be alright with a 24volt on a 21ft. Legend with a proxs 225 ? I fish a lot and hard . It has a old MG 82 lb 24volt saltwater on it now , it does alright . However it is old and I feel you cannot compare it with a ultrex and the new technology .

But with a boat that long and heavier than an 18' rig, I'd be looking at the 36v Ultrex.

However it is old and I feel you cannot compare it with a ultrex and the new technology . Would you be OK...yes. But with a boat that long and heavier than an 18' rig, I'd be looking at the 36v Ultrex. I agree with this. If all you want to do is go out and spot lock, the 24v is going to be fine and will hold you, but if you like to move around then you are going to wish you had the 36V. I went with a 24v on my 20ft Skeeter because that is what I had previously and didnt want to add another battery. I am still fine with my 24v and it holds its own on my 20ft boat, but there are times I wish I had just added the extra battery. If you are used to the 24v already it will be about the same power. The spot lock is just more efficient then you constantly hitting the pedal to keep you in place. The real difference in the 36 and 24 is noticed when you are moving around, especially if you are jumping spots (or trying to get your line un-hung on a windy bank while trying to keep your boat off the shore).

24/80 Terrova iPilot on a 20 ft center console. Fish 10 - 12 hours and have never seen the battery level indicator get to even 1/2 level. On max power at end of the day it's still pulling like a mule.
GOD is good!
