I will PM him. Frankly I am a little worried about buying a terrova cuz 1. my footcontrol is usally my exercise for the day and 2. It may be possible that I may deplete the crappie population if I can now concentrate on fishing instead of manuvering the boat.

I have had the V2 and now have the Terrova. The Terrova responds a lot faster in steering and the heel/toe foot control is very similiar to cable control trolling motor. I like the Terrova because I fish for everything from bass, stripers, catfish, crappie and it fits all my needs. Also, the deployments is alot easier.

...(That didn't sound right)

LOL Can't go for that..

It will be sent today. I bought the Terrova 55 w/ I-pilot, cuz my 47 lb will fly on high speed. Another reason is I am 67 yrs old and I am trying to spend my kids inheritance.
I got the terrova for $699 before a 100 rebate and the I-pilot for $349 and free shipping for all of it ,plus a divorce lawyer So, thats $948 total, not a lot of difference in dealers but he said it would ship today. Now I am going fishing. BTW, I bought it from Ebuyers world .com from a guy named Adam.

I sure hope I'm happy with it. I put off my fishing today because of the wind. Maybe that wont be such an issue in the future.

Wind is always an issue with me. But Saturday it sure was more manageable with the I-pilot. Still don't like to fish in it though.:D

I hate the wind too, I have even been known to curse at it. It only blows when I kill my big motor or when I find fish. BUT I LOVE IT!!
