    Who's switching.......Ultrex to Ghost

    Just curious to see how much interest is in the new lowrance ghost and if people are giving up their Ultrex to go with the Ghost

    Maybe for my next boat or if my Ultrex dies but I see no reason to take the finical hit by selling an Ultrex to buy a ghost.

    I see the Ghost replacing my Fortrex in the next 15 months. I saw the Ghost
    at ICAST earlier this year and was very impressed by it. I just want to give Lowrance some time to work out any bugs.

    Nope - will be sticking with my ultrex. Everything I have read the Ghost is not its replacement. I'd pick the Force over the Ghost anyway.

    Have they released the weight yet, that's what I need to know before I think of switching.

    Lowrance said they been working on it for 4 year. Seems like enough time to work out bugs. If they still have bugs might just better give up I'd think

    I plan on switching out my MG Tour whenever the Ghost comes out. Good luck finding one this month as it will be mid next year before you see them on the shelves.

    I will be switching over to Lawrence because I run their graphs, I also think it will be the best motor out there.

    New Triton will be here in Nov and it will have a Ghost installed at my dealer along with L units. I really think it’s going to be the best TM on the market!!
