You'll be in hawg heaven then, it will do that.

Itching to fish and try the new setup. Should be getting good before long with these cooler days.

Seen him do that but as much as Rees fishes I just thought his boat was just trained to do that.

2) Self deploy and stow is the stuff, specially unloading and loading by yourself without a dock around. With a dock I do just like the commercial they put out when they were introducing them.
Like I said this is an opinion, not so much right or wrong but what works best for me.
Other thing is I absolutely love my 360 being on the transom, at idle I can check things out before ever shutting the motor down.

Sure is scary, when you've seen several boats loading early because it wouldn't Stowe or deploy. I've personally seen and heard too much negative to make me want to risk buying one now. Durability isn't proven, to me just yet.

Had mine do it twice. Once unloading and it was a result of the first mishap, power wire came loose while deploying. I have the Gen 2 and am glad I had to wait on it.

I've used both the Ultera and the Ultrex. They are both very nice units. The self deploy and stow is extremely convenient when fishing alone or perhaps guiding. The new Spot Lock is fast and accurate on both units. I've been fishing lots of wood lately and with a partner to help launch, the Ultrex is the best thing out there as it allows you everything the Ultera does except the deploy/stow. I used the foot pedal on my Ultrex the last tourney I fished in Truman without ever touching the remote, even in open water. The foot pedal has all of the controls built on it, and when you need your hands in the wind or wood, it's the best there is. I used to never use my foot pedal with my Ultera or even my Terrova, but I'm here to tell ya, that was and is a Mistake!!! Thank You Kelly Capps for beating that foot pedal use back into me when we fished together at the ACT in Grenada!!!!!!
