Questioning My TM Choice On My New Ranger

[MCPO]

The last six boats I’ve owned 2018-2023 I owned three uktrexx then three garmin force. All three ultrexx had issues and had to be worked on. I haven’t had one single problem with a garmin so far. Lighter, quieter, the spot lock seems more accurate. I’m not married to any of them but iv even happier with the garmin for sure.

Of topic, but.......! Six boats in six years? Haven't owned six in my life.

I went with the Power Pole Move, maybe I should’ve went Lowrance Ghost. only time will tell.

I would gladly get rid of my Force and use a MK Fortrex.

This has almost been my exact same experience. I hated the 2 or 3 ultrex i had but it was basically only thing out there. Now, I have had 2 garmins on 2 of my prior boats and my current boat and its light years better than the original ultrex. I cant comment on the new ultrex. I had 1 issue with garmin and that was due to my garmin doing an update during a tournament so i couldnt use it for about 5 minutes and couldnt figure out what was going on. The original ultrex was sometimes a pain to stow or to lift out of water. I had to remember to stow properly with livescope connected, and just outdated. The garmin had options i liked and havent looked back.
