50 more lbs carry capacity vs the removable transducer well and 1.5 ft shorter.
Decisions decisions. Leaning to the 135 and mounting the xducer for my HB997 on a retractalbe bow mount. Puts the xducer out front nearer rod tips.
Suggestions?
I have a Ride 135 and I chose it over the 115 for some more space for camping trips and the better speed when I'm on the bigger lakes. For my transducer, I went with the CellBlock and have a Lowrance Elite 5 HDI and the RAM transducer arm. Everything fits on the box and I can take the whole unit off very easily to put it in the truck on the way home.
Both yaks are great and have tons of storage on them. If you were to fish on smaller rivers, I'd say the 115 definitely has an advantage.
There are several Ride owners on this forum and I'm sure they'll have some additional helpful input.
Tight Lines!
