Hi Guys-

I'm planning on purchasing a saltwater trolling motor this spring. Had them for years on my freshwater bass boats, but for simplicity's sake have left if off my Lema Skiff for years. Some interesting saltwater scenarios and the desire to do more freshwater bass fishing with my boat has got me hot to trot on an electric.

I'm wondering if any of you have one and what your experiences have been with them. Could you suggest a manufacturer/model, etc..? Leaning towards a MinnKota Riptide at this point right now.
