    201 pro xl tolling motor shaft length

    Guys I have a 2004 201 pro xl. I am in the market for a ultrex and was wondering what shaft length I should get. The choices or 45 52 60. If it was your boat what you yo get? I'm leaning towards the 52. Thanks

    kinda depends on where/what you fish. what length do you have now? is that coming out of the water all the time? Is the head so high you hit it pitching?

    I don't have a 201 pro xl but on my 295 pro xl I have used a 52 inch terrova and a 45 inch ultrex on my boat. I would get the 45" unless you're fishing in big lakes where it has big waves then I would opt for the 52.
