I pulled the trigger on the brand new 2015 Rip Tide I-Pilot that was taken off a salt-water rig and replaced with an Ultera Rip Tide before it was ever wet. I took a chance on a motor with no warranty but saved $800 over a new one of the same.
The lack of US2 is a plus for me. I use a Podunk Ideas da'ducer apparatus for my DI transducer.
