Minn Kota Riptide SM or SE????

Hello everyone.  I am looking into purchasing a trolling motor in the coming weeks but I have no clue on which one to get between the Riptide SM or SE.  I do not know the real differences between the two.  The trolling motor will be mounted on a 2014 Ankona Copperhead so I do not want to add too much weight to the skiff so I am looking at 55lbs/12v motor.  I want to keep the weight down also so does anyone know how much the two models weigh and which is a better recommendation?  I am planning on using it in Freshwater and Saltwater around mangroves. Thank you all.

 

Thank you guys for the input. I was talking with the manufacture and I think I am going to go with a remote unit instead.

 

Hello Reel. Congratulations on your new Copperhead. Word of advice. Make sure you look over your new Copperhead in and out. Make sure everything is working and you find no defects. Unfortunately for me I had to go back to Ankona like 2 or 3 times due to discrepancies. They are a bunch of good folks there but they are humans and not everyone has the same QC as others and make mistakes.
As for the trolling motor I chose I picked out the Minn Kota Riptide SP 55 copilot. If you have the money to get the ipilot version go for it. The Riptide SP is awesome. I believe the 48" is the one I got. Ankona can tell you what length you need. The Copperhead is so light you won't need anything bigger than a 12 volt and 55 pound thrust.
