Thread: Terrova vs Riptide?

Then that is the one I would go with.

The Riptide does NOT come with the foot control. The Terrova does.

I was looking at Terrova's but cant find one with I-pilot 80# with a 54" shaft. All they have is 45" or 60". Why is that?

Get a 60" you wont be sorry

Just had a Rip Tide apart today. Feelay is correct. Seals are the same. Color and the anode are the only difference. The paint appears to be an epoxy to withstand saltwater.

Don't have a reason why but if 54 is what you need just get the 60 and cut it down. Pretty simple for you.

Wilbur, get the 60 and put it on. Fish with it a few times before cutting it down, if you still want it cut CARRY it to an authorized service person. It is easy to do yourself but if you do you could void the warranty.

That's what I was thinking of doing. Or get a riptide,except the boat is camo and the white will look out of place. Or go with a PD V2 70# This will be on a 20ft. boat
