    As said buy the Quest. Brushless and can run 24 or 36 volt. Then only decision is what battery to hook it up to. Have one and have owned the old ultrex since they 1st came out. The new one is lights out better. Scott

    LUV TO SEE A PICTURE OF THAT BOAT INSIDE AND OUT. SOUNDS GREAT. Excuse the caps

    The only problem with buying an Ultrex Quest is that it conflicts with the requirement to save weight. The lightest one is 87 lbs, whereas the lightest Ultrex 25V is 77 lbs. The Garmin Force is 66 lbs. We had a similar discussion on trolling motor weights a while back at Has anyone weighed the new ultrex quest to see what it weighs.

    If I'm not at work or taking kids to their activities, you might find me on "The Rez" fishing. If not there, I could be in the garage working on my boat.

    Get the brushless 24V, two-12V lithium-Ion batteries (less weight and can still be used to run or jump other items in the boat), and call and thank me in five years when you still don't need to buy new batteries!
