I think an Ultrex is 80 pounds I was able to find shipping weights for the Ultrex in their FAQ. Site searches didn't yield any info regarding other models. When I purchased my Maxxum a few years back I was unable to come up with any weights by searching either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rps 6,301 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Two years ago I switched from a Terrova to an Ulterra with I Pilot. I could kick myself for not getting the Link as well. Because of the knarly work arounds for the transducer, I use the universal and settle for 2D. The way I fish the boat, all I really need is depth and sometimes school of fish depth. I do not keep the foot pedal in the boat, but CARRY A SPARE FOB BATTERY! The comments about not quick deploy/stow are correct, but the raise and lower the unit depth arrow works quickly if you need to avoid underwater trouble. MinnKota's manual on deploy stow troubles: https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdoors.com/sites/johnsonoutdoors-store/files/product/minbowmountl3/1102495/ProductManual/MIN_productmanual_Ulterra-BT-Manual-Stow.pdf?_ga=2.13174583.1483395041.1553981476-1367744418.1553981476 Having said the above, I am seriously considering switching to the Ultrex Mega transducer with I Pilot Link.

I didn't feel that you were, It's truly the most stable kayak I've ever been in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
