    What’s everyone recommend? Want to replace minn Kota power drive with something with more bells and whistles

    Very happy with my Terrova. Networked to a Helix, but that’s not a requirement.

    I think you’ll be pretty happy with anything else other than another Powerdrive. The Terrova, Ulterra, and Ultrex are all significant upgrades.

    IMO, go with a Terrova. Proven design that will last a long time.

    I am happy with my Terrova also, but if I was looking now I would look at the other ones that came in like the ghost

    Terrova is hands down better than the power drive. You will be happy with the upgrade.

    Ulterra it will have to be torn from my cold dead hands before I would buy anything else.

    Another vote for Terrova. The lift assist is a pretty sweet upgrade from a PowerDrive.

    If you like to fish from the front the boat the Ultrex is superior to the Terova or Ultera. All great motors but the foot pedal on the Ultrex is awesome.

    Love my 72″ Ulterra. I can deploy and retrieve it from my Humminbird. Never have to go up front in 3 – 4 footers to deal with it. Much safer when I fish alone.

    Love my Ulterra, does everything that I have ever hoped for.

    Haven’t fished with anything above my Terrova so don’t know what I’m missing but I’m happy with my Terrova.

    With the integration of the trolling motor and graph, I do think that you need to decide what graph you want to eventually pair with it. When I bought my Terrova, Bird was the only integrated system. Now with Ghost out there it is possible for the Lowrance side to be integrated too. That should factor into your decision.

    If you want bells and whistles go with the ulterra. I installed one this year……..it’s like fishing sex 🤣
