Has anyone installed a Minn Kota Fortrex or Ultrex on an XB2003? I really want an Ultrex with spot lock, but they stow so high I'm afraid I couldn't even see to the left while driving lol. Any pics would be awesome. Google images has failed me.

Fortrex and Ultrex have the same profile...if your gonna be blind, you might as well be blind with the Ultrex and spot lock. I love mine, but it's on a xb21.

Just bit the bullet and bought an Ultrex. Now I have to replace my comfortroll tray, it's too narrow and curves at the rear. As soon as I can get that squared away I guess I'll see how many mph I loose because of the heavy momma.

So far my boat is running the same speed with the heavier 112 Ultrex as it did with the 112 Fortrex. The weight of the Ultrex seems to have settled the bow some.
