Advice.
I'm considering a Minkota Powerdrive V2 55 I-pilot/remote. Is this a good trolling motor? I have a 16' StarCraft/30hp Thanks.

If you are going to get i-pilot, I would go with the Terrova.
The V2 will need to be unplugged/disconnected when not in use to conserve the battery. It does NOT shut off when in the store/up position.
The Terrova automatically shuts off when put in the store/up position.

get the biggest you can afford, it is better to have 80 lb.of thrust when you only need 55, but it is a bummer to need 80 and you only have 55.......terrova is a great motor I have used both the power drive and the terrova,

Terrova is also much more user friendly when launching and retrieving motor.

Couple other benefits are the remote buttons are easier to use, you can use the foot control or remote , with the V2 you can't

X2 - got a couple friends with the V2 and sometimes you have to bang the he!! out of em to get 'em down. One trip out it took 2 of us leaning on a saltwater model to get it to drop. I'd rather go back to a cable control that to have to mess with that.
Terrova is easy, push the bar and it releases.
X2 on the pedal also. It really pays off when you got 2 rods in hand and need to move or even shut the motor down.
You just gonna sit there an argue, or fish?
