Alot of good info already. I will add, if going with the Ulterra, be mindful of the stow/deploy belt while traveling on the road. Being at the front of the boat, it is exposed to all the nasty. Salt spray, bug guts, sandy grit, and.... wind. The belt sure slaps and whips around alot while on the freeway. I can only imagine the premature wear and tear that causes. And yes, mine is adjusted to the proper tension per Minn Kota specs. I would like to have a nice cover sewn up to keep it protected, but until then I just have it on a quick disconnect plate and remove it when I'm done for the day. Also +1 for the LiTime battery. I'm over 3 years on mine without a hiccup. Switched the cranking battery over to their dual purpose model last fall also. Still too early for a reliability recommendation. But, so far no issues.
