Once in a while that lift assist gets caught on the cord and watch your fingers as it flies up when freed.

Are you a fellow lift assist hand smasher?  I did it on my buddies boat, man that hurt.

got me good one early morning and watch that demon like a hawk now.

I'm still holding out hope the quest is all they are saying it is in the few reviews that are around. Just put 3 new batteries in and I get about 7 hours trolling 1.8-2mph and the claim of 5 times that with a brushless motor is crazy to me and would make going lithium only a weight saving spend and yes more charges over the lifetime.
My current terrova has been pretty bullet proof though and I've sat in one spot in a hurricane looking at the same log for hours on the spotlock casting to a school of perch.

 Mcully I get 7 hours trolling out of my
Terrova and my batteries are 3 years old
 Of course your boat is much heavier

Yeah, I'd say I get about 6 or 7 hours out of my setup constant trolling when using it in tandem with my kicker. 1.8 to 2.2 mph.

With my lithium I would get 2-2.5 months out of my Ulterra.

 I get 6.5- 7 hrs without my kicker
 Mac didn’t realize you fished the trophy that much 😉
