Terrova vs Riptide?

[Crappiemaniac]

What is the main difference?

[BAMA S]

Riptide is rated for saltwater

["G"]

Riptide is white instead of black....its the salt water version and has different seals.

[Crappiemaniac]

Is that the only difference?

[Rees Guide]

Yep

[jimmydee1]

Far as I can tell, that's the onliest difference.

I found a new terrova 80 with ipilot remote and foot pedal for 1418.00

Or a factory refurb with factory warranty. Riptide 112 with ipilot remote and foot pedal for 1399.00

No tax or shipping on both

[Crappiemaniac]

Anybody had any dealings with the factory refurbished stuff?

Main thing is how long is warranty on refurb unit. Have seen some with only 90 days. Factory refurb should be as good or better than new. In your case I would opt for the 112 at that price. Think you would be happier in the long run.

Riptide is white and has sacrificial anodes....only difference.
