This is the reason I bought the Ultrex. Although I have learned to tight-line and troll jigs and cranks off the back since my purchase, I still love the option of the old-school foot pedal. I use the remote far more than I ever thought but there are times when the pedal application is better. Smooth as butter, instant response and I don't have to look at the direction arrow to change direction.

As for the thrust, after talking to Brian at BBG marine, I went with the 80# 24v and very glad I did. Our 16.5 foot Alumacraft had a 55# when we bought it and it pulled our boat around fine. After getting the I-pilot and learning how to troll it is nice to have enough power to troll at a lesser setting to achieve the same speed. If there is any wind or current at all the extra power is a must IMO.
