How well does this motor work on a 19 and a half foot boat and heavy vegetation such as lily pads and hydrilla?

Larry:
Just picked up the xi5 and have been putting it through its paces. Some great things about it and some not so great.
I have mine on a Lund ProV 1775. It moves my boat wonderfully. I don’t fish heavy cover very often. I have the 72″ shaft to attempt to keep cavitation to a minimum at all times.
Therefore when I have had the boat in shallow water weeds musky fishing the last couple of days I have found out that I may need another prop along with raising it higher, so the jury is still out for me regarding heavy weeds. In fairness to this motor, I’m not sure that I had my 3 MinnKotas in heavy weeds very often either…
