Minn Kota Ulterra 112 for 25' Crestliner?

[chowder]

I've gotten involved in some non trolling fishing on Lake Erie and just wondering if the bow mount unit mentioned above would be capable of providing adequate boat control for tossing tubes and vertical jigging on my 25' Crestliner Eagle? The Ulterra has the following specs: 112 Lbs. Thrust, 72" Shaft, it has the ipilot feature.. Any feedback from anybody who has run this kind of setup on a larger boat would be appreciated. Armchair advice not really needed. Thanks!!

I have an Ultrex 112 lb. It is nothing short of Awesome! Spot Lock and Ipilot are great! My boat is smaller than yours but the 112 has all the power needed for great boat control

Minn Kota now offers a 87” shaft for the 112lb Saltwater Terrova as a 72” shaft is likely too short on a 25 footer.  I have a 60” shaft on the Terrova on my Lund and it needs pretty much all of it.  I have to believe the bow on a the Crestliner is easily over 12” higher than the bow on my Pro V.  Minn Kota has a video of 87” shaft on a 25 foot CC stripper fishing with I pilot. Check it out.
