Doh! Looks like I will need to buy some fishouflage for me and a boat wrap this year. Those have to be the coolest rims I have ever seen on a boat trailer.

I run a HDS 10 on the console and this year I will have a 36 volt 101 Terrova as my trolling motor, 31 series AGM batteries and my huge back deck/bait box

Is there a reason you're switching back to the Terrova after a year with the XI5?
I'm currently debating between the two

I went back to the Terrova for several reasons. 1. There is a service center minutes from my house. 2. I had two foot pedals with the Xi5 and broke all 4 tension springs by July. Some of the bushing and components didn't cooperate with the amount of time I spend on the water. For 99% of the people out there, the Xi5 will work great and you will have zero issues with them. I loved the motor itself. Quick, quiet, super fast turning speed. It's a great motor, I have just found that the Terrova is more suitable for the amount of days I spend on the water.

That is interesting. I reAlly want to like the xi5 but the Terrova just seems like the safer choice.
