Thinking about upgrading to this motor, anybody have any experience with the RIPTIDE? Is is close to the same thing as the terrova? I felt like this was a great price for the link....any input would be appreciated before I make a bad purchase lol

Same thing, just the saltwater version of a Terrova
Why not go with the 80 lb thrust?? Never have too much power if you have room for the batts and when you upgrade again the 24V will be easier and quicker to sell.
80 lb means extra battery and more money over all....I'm gonna be getting another aluminum boat to hunt and fish out of and the 55 lb is plenty of power for that

got ya, looks like a good deal
Just message brain at bbg will deal with him if I pull the trigger in that one

I have the 55 and it's been a good motor for me. That one has a better paint job to fight corrosion and I think it has a couple of extra o"ring seals on the motor. That's only difference and that's a good price for the link.
You must not pull cranks or fish big water in the wind thenQuote:

I like it but rarely, very rarely do I use the contour feature. I like the remote better and the Go To feature a lot. If you are buying new be sure to get the Gen 2, much better spotlock. I would not purchase a new Gen 1 unless it was at a really really good price.
If your about to spend 1200 on a tm $100 won't break the bank I run a 70lb tm on a 1652 g3 and glad I have the extra power. Use to run a 12 volt but always ran batteries in Parallel u gave up way before batteries did
If you have room for the batteries I would go with the 80.....I have a 1752 aluminum, and I run a 112...I love it..
How often do y'all use the link feature?

Like I said in my post, use the go to feature and thats pretty much it, do prefer the bigger remote.
I dont use the link enough to justify price..i do like the rechargeable remote..dont follow contours like I thought I would.. Go more point to point
