I will be upgrading this spring. Any feedback on the Ghost yet? It’s between the ghost and ultrex for me.
Thanks.

Lots of feedback on the ghost, check out the Lowrance page and the trolling motor page.
I have the Ultrex on my old boat and one on my new boat, my Ghost motor arrived a couple of weeks ago, will be installing on new boat, I like the Ultrex but because i run lowrance graphs I am going with the Ghost, also I like several of the features the Ghost has. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
just hope they are better with trolling motors than they are with their electronics,buy one and 6 months later no repairs on a old unit new model out now,i think i will wait awhile on one of their trolling motors
My new Ghost is on the delivery truck coming sometime today, first time I have actually been excited about getting a trolling motor.
If you dont need to upgrade this spring then I may wait as new things will be coming from not only Minn Kota but from Power Pole in the world of trolling motors. If an upgrade is needed this spring then the offerings from Lowrance and Garmin are ones to look at.

I am upgrading also. Looking at Ultrex with I-piolt link since I have humminbird electronics. what new things is Minn kota coming out with? I might can wait til the fall of next year if it will be good. I was going to go with the MSI already installed on trolling motor so maybe that will help with interference when TM runs.
This is why I'm going to the ISE show in Sacramento !! They'll have all of them there to "Play" with, lol !! I have an Ultrex now and love it, but I want to check out the Garmen and the Ghost.

What do you know about power pole coming out with trolling motors Kevin? Sounds pretty awesome!

I would prob go with Ghost if I had newer electronics, but I have Gen3 HDS12 and from what I have gathered, they are not integrated/supported with the Ghost?

No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.
I would do research on customer service from both companies, and the best would be my choice. I have the Ultrex and I love it. I’m sure they would both be great units, it would come down to the best customer service for me.
Wanting to upgrade but always a MG guy. I'll look at the new Tour Pro models at the Expo. If I don't like it I'll probably default to a Ultrex. However if I come across a new Ultrex at a stupid price between now and then, I'm buying it.
Thanks. I run lowrance graphs but they are too old to work with ghost.
