    looking to get rid of the xi5 72″. not because of issues as it has been great.

    I am looking at switching to an Ultrex or a Ghost of 60″ so i can run active target on the trolling motor.

    my 72″ comes out of the water on rough days. For the guys running a 60″ shaft how has it been on this boat?

    Wouldn’t a 60” be going the wrong way if your 72 is already coming out of the water in rough conditions?

    90 % of the time just fine, but those big water days too short.

    It is technically going the wrong way…. The reason I am looking is to go with a GHOST or Ultrex to run Active Target on the trolling motor for ease of use.

    Like Dean says 90% of the time a 60″ (Which is what the boat originally had) is fine. I never ran it with the 60″ so I am just getting some input from others.

    Chris,
    Side note that your old style hull sits higher than the new hulls…. so I have my doubts on it being long enough on those big water days…. But I also believe we will see longer shaft offerings in the future….
