Herb, I had the dealer put a 36v, 52" shaft on the Legend I just got. Come out and give it a try. I don't think you'll have ANY doubts about it after that! I drove my Champion for 20 years and upgraded it 4 or 5 times in that time frame. The Ultrex is no doubt the best piece of equipment I've ever bought in regards to helping you with boat positioning. Especially in the lakes around here where you pretty much have to fish deep a good deal of the time!

well ultrex or lone of the newer models just coming out?

as soon as they come out I will be putting a $3000 ghost on my 94 Ranger

They are available for preorder at Tackle Warehouse. Jump on it!

Okay, I pulled the ol' trigger and ordered an 80/45 from my peeps at South Austin Marine, who'll be doing the install. Looking forward to the Life Change.

Randy, I'm looking forward to a cruise in your new ride, man! I will call soon.

Do it! I had one on my 01 Triton. Took it off when I sold it and put it on my 09 Skeeter.

I have a pre-order in with Tommy at Lake Fork Trolling Motor. He is a motor guide/Lawrence dealer and has already been to the ghost training school.

He said that everything that anyone can say negative about trolling motors has been built into the ghost. Worth a phone call if you have any questions about them.

Fixed it for you. Now the Ghost doesn’t sound so bad. Lol

I put an Ultrex on my 30 yr old Champion over a year ago. Great TM. Check around for discounts - Tackle Warehouse offers 10% discounts on all orders for active/retired/discharged military.

I've kept my sonar/GPS units updated with late model Lowrance sonar/GPS HDS units.

I ignore boat's resell value when it comes to replacing/updatng accessories as I have no plan or need to upgrade to another boat - so I'll install what I want to get the most enjoyment out of my rig.

The Ultrex has arrived, but I've got music gigs all weekend, and besides, who fishes Lake Travis on Labor Day Weekend anyway? Only maniacs, that's who, joining all the other maniacs in their cigarette/ski/wakeboard/yacht/waverunners. So the install takes place on Tuesday. Full report to follow.

First thing you'll need to do Herb once you get on the water is program the remote. Study the manual so you'll understand how it's done. Actually pretty easy. After that all you gotta do is locate some fish and spot lock on'em. Have fun with your new toy, it is a GAME CHANGER, lol.

I’m thinking about putting a terrova on a jon boat. Thoughts?

You don't need a 36V for your boat unless you plan to fish 2 days or more without being able to charge your batteries. I would say, upgrade the TM, buy some new batteries and Fish On!
