I do like the fact that the new lowrance is brushless. I was waiting for this to happen and they are claiming it now......supposedly zero interference with electronics, at least it states that. I don't know about the lowrance but I have to turn the gain waaaaaayyy up to get any kind of interference with the Garmin Force which is brushless as well. Under normal operating conditions I have never noticed any interference. SE Kansas grass grower I was hoping you would get in on this conversation, I got to run it for about 16 hours over the weekend. Pretty easy decision.

Lol the price of the ultrex isnt going to go down. About 90% of every new boat sold this year will have an ultrex on it. Next year too. They dont just lower the price because competition came into the market. Theyve been ahead a while, they have tricks up their sleeve too theyll just wait a year or so then put it out and raise the price of their troller.
Do you see boat companies lower their price when other brands of bots came on the market? No you dont. Simple supply/demand doesnt work in this case because theyre already making way over their margins they budgeted for. So they have a lot of room to close that gap before they would ever even think about lowering the price of the ultrex. Bottom line it will only go up in price

I heard that one of them (don't know which brand) will automatically switch to 24V instead of 36V if you have one battery go bad. That isn't confirmed, just something I heard today.

The same motor is either 24 or 36. Plug it in to either one. If you have a 24 volt set-up and someday decide you want to go to a 36, you just add a battery.

Lowrance and Garmin want $3000 for the new unit. Ouch If you add the si and di transducers then you are pushing $3500+ with the Garmin and add another $100 if you want the remote
