Trying to figure out what trolling motor to put on my 1900CC. Looking at the Minn Kota Riptide ST80 54" and the SP70 54". The difference is 10 lbs and $250. If I go with the SP70, that $250 can get me the two batteries and maybe even a charger. But everyone always says you won’t regret getting more power.
Oh and in both cases I’d be getting the iPilot.
Of course in either case I’m going to need to do something about this rail:
I have the ST80 on my boat and I wouldn’t have even thought about anything less. It does just fine, but in a strong current it will still have a hard time making headway. Get the 80, you won’t regret it.
