I liked the Terrova as a motor but their foot pedal is a joke while working shorelines. I don't like having to look at the motor to see which way it is pointing before turning it on to adjust your position. The Ghost has the same feel as the old cable steer motors. This way I have an idea where the motor is pointing just by the position of my foot. Secondly I'm running a Lowrance finder and it is nice to be able to control the motor from the finder. Lastly the remote is about the size of a key fob and covers the functions that I need while taking care of things.

That Ghost looks like a great motor.
Bummer it does not have auto stow/deploy.
Maybe in the next year or two Lowrance will add it?

DO NOT RUN ABOVE POWER 8 FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME!
Minnkota quest new models are brushless can handle  lithiums as many of the others can as they use brushless motors lithiums are no problem on those.
The continuous higher output of lithium can burn up brushed motors!

I’m using li-time lithiums IMHO from doing some research great batteries great price ..,, time will tell
I got Bluetooth models so I can track power status and usage. It’s early but working great and have heard lots of positives in them and they are almost half of other brands. Then specials and discounts if interested watch for deals!
I'll second all that.  I too bought Li Time batteries.  I have the Ulterra Quest trolling motor and my batteries are 12 v, 140 aH.  I got two batteries for $615 total direct from Li Time (free shipping).  Li Time also offers a 165 ah, 12 v.  They are Smart (bluetooth) batteries (monitor them on your phone) and will work down to -4 degrees F.  But you can't charge them below 32 degrees F.If you're considering going lithium, check out Li Time compared to the ones costing over $1,000 each.
Bob,
While I have had fantastic results with the cheap Walmart flooded lead batteries in my boat (2xGroup 27) I would not mind lighter weight batteries up front.
I will be looking forward to hearing how your system treats you!
