I put an ultrex on my boat the beginning of the year, for my use it has been great. Holds the spot, can change or retie without going over the fish. This motor has me really spoiled.

Man, I want one soooo bad. I just couldn’t afford it (at over twice the cost of what I paid) when the time came to replace my trolling motor this spring.

I bought the Ulterra earlier this year, needed the self deploy as I am sooo old.  It's a late 2018 and the spot lock is perfect.  My recent drop shot report, I fished in the same spot the whole time, it got pretty windy, and after I set it I never touched it again until I left the spot.

Yes he put an Ultrex on.  It is a 2019 an in Minnkota's new advertisement says they completely redesigned and reinvented it for 2019.  Quicker response, better GPS lock with not as much searching to stay on target with better holding power in the wind.  

That will be really nice because that had been a problem with the 17's and 18's.

I'm a year off on a new rig and it will be interesting to see what all these companies do.  Garmin may be the biggest player yet

My Ultrex was one of the first ones made and I can't imagine how they could have made it much better but good for them if they did and good for the guys that get the updated version!

To my uneducated self, its response is lightning quick and it stays on mark to within a couple of feet even in the wind which I still find to be absolutely amazing.

Of course I'm comparing all of this to my own speed of response and ability to hold the boat on a spot with a "normal" troller so there's that...........
