I had a Edge and did not like the foot controller. I had a stick steer boat and the foot controller took up a lot of room. I have never used a powerdrive V2 but if you read the forms a lot of guys have problems with the foot controller working. Go to BPS or a store that has the motors on display and play with them to see which one you would like. Then go find the kind you like new or used. Just don't do like me and go to get the cheaper power drive and come out with the terrova.
