Minn Kota Terrova or Minn Kota Riptide ST??

[btucker1075]

Looking to purchase one of these units. Looking at the 80 lb model with the I-pilot feature. Leaning more toward the Riptide ST with the 54" shaft and buying the foot pedal separate....I don't really have the extra room for the 60" model of the Terrova. This will be going on a Triton TR-18 bass boat if that makes a difference.

Anybody have any pros/cons for these two units??

Thanks

For what it's worth...I tried the Riptide Stick steer and it took up too much of my time. The extra 'precision' I wanted from the Stick didn't help me much. Terrvora ipilot is what I went BACK to. Been at this for many years, but still consider myself a novice, so take this for what it's worth.

Me too. And much less tiring.
