[QUOTE="InSaneFisherMan, post: 483577, member: 26281"] I have the Xi3 (Bass Pro 52# version) on a 14’ Mirrocraft. I get really good battery life and it is really easy to deploy and retract. I do have a transducer mounted to it but you really have to watch the transducer cable. I have updated mine with GPS and really love the anchor lock and heading lock. The remote works great, but when using a rod and steering can be a pain, especially if you are used to foot pedal. It’s not that big of a deal, but takes some getting use too. When trolling it is really nice to be anywhere in the boat. As far as price you may want to check a Bass Pro, they have a Bass Pro only version that has better pricing. From my research the only difference is a 52# motor, instead of 55#. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/motorguide-100118964 [/QUOTE]
