Chitwood21MA Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Whats the deal? Seems really cheap- https://www.mygreenoutdoors.com/minn-kota-riptide-ulterra-80-ip-w-i-pilot-no-foot-pedal-24v-80lb-60-1358951/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 It does not appear to be the latest generation Ulterra with the Bluetooth puck sensor. The latest generation Ulterra has a much improved spot lock feature. Still, it does seem like a very good price! This seems like it might be a close out priced MK.

triplec Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 As JEM stated they are closing out the old 1st gen models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 That's not a fantastic price, btw. I got mine a couple years ago -same model - for 1329. Guy off of Hull Truth. NO shipping cost either. Having said that and having the Gen 1, shell out the extra $$ for the gen 2. The spot lock on the gen 1 is FANTASTIC . . . when it works. But about 50% of the time it wanders around enough to make you crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 sorry - NO - okay, starting to make sense now. Missed the Ulterra part, only saw Ipilot. Scratch everything I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craSSh Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I almost bit. Gonna get a gen2 shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetWilly Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 My new Ulterra should be delivered tomorrow. Does the "puck" come included in the gen2 or do I need to purchase in addition? I would hope so as it would be disappointing to need another $150 item after shelling out $2k for the motor itself. Regardless, it'll be quite the step up from my '02 65# copilot pushing the 18.5 MA.

JEM Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 The Bluetooth compass is part of the latest generation Ulterra. You will love it. The only thing I dislike about the new Ulterra is the remote. It is too complicated. I complained to Minn Kota about that. On the prior version remote, I could operate the remote without looking at it. Not possible with this remote as there are too many buttons too close together doing too many functions. I don't use all the fancy smancy stuff! Just this week, I ordered the Micro Remote just to operate the motor's basic functions.......speed, direction, and spot lock. It will not trim the motor, nor will it deploy and stow. I will leave the big remote on the console to operate those features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
