I have the 36volt model MG unit. It is awesome and 100% better than my previous MK unit with respect to spot holding and dare I say durability also (admittedly its still pretty new).cards wrote:Looks like the new MK “saltwater” auto deploy Riptide Ulterra is finally on its way, according to their website early 2016.
112lbs of thrust + 72” shaft for the top model: http://www.minnkotamotors.com/Trolling- ... e-Ulterra/
Both companies are leading the market but MK is certainly leading the way with innovation & wonder how MG will respond?
Both seem to have reliability issues.
I’m looking at getting the MG 105lbs 36v as I can’t wait that long.
Does anyone have this model, Pros & Cons?
with the price difference between the MG and MK units at this size being about $900 (MK being more expensive) I don't see the MK as viable competition unless they produce something MG doesn't provide.
I suggest people don't get tied up with "Brand Loyalty" as the pivotal reason for your purchase.
