I have a '95 202 with a 2002 2.5L ProMax 225x equipped with 24v 52" Minn Kota Maxxum TM. This is a pretty nice setup. I can easily run in low 70s. I want to upgrade to a spot lock TM. I am concerned about how the additional weight of a spot lock TM on the bow will affect the top end. I really don't want to go back to a 52" TM. The head sticks out too far from the side of the boat. The head sticking out creates an issue when in a narrow covered dock. The head wants to hook the dock posts when backing out. I really don't fish that much big water where I have to be concerned about the TM staying in the water. I like the 50" Garmin Force but it is the heaviest of the 3 spot locks TMs. It is a nice compromise in length. According to the videos done by Russel Marine the Garmin Force weighs 75#, the Ultrex is 72#, and the Ghost is the lightest at 65#. If making a decision between the Garmin Force or Lowrance Ghost, would 10# difference make much of a difference in top end performance? Any thoughts will be appreciated.
