    I have a 47” on a 198, is that close enough? My buddy has a 47” on his 196. I know you are asking about the 52”, but if we can make the 47” work fine, then the 52” would be fine.

    If you fish a lot of grass and have to pull the motor up in the water column, you might avoid a 52”. I have to pull mine up and the head design really sticks up, I can’t imagine having to fight the extra 5”. Deep water, no grass wouldn’t be an issue.

    I'm a few days late, but I have the 52" ULTREX on my 196 and don't regret the extra length. My 03 sits nose high due to my batteries and powerpoles.

    Thank you Kajunram12! I have a 52 Minn Kota Maxxum currently and have always liked that length because of the nose high attitude. I'm thinking I'm going to be liking my new Ghost. Thanks!
