I got the motor guide this spring. It comes with hand remote and wireless foot peddle. Took some getting used to unit beeps and has lights to tell you when it's on. I spider rig a lot and the motor drives the boat holding in wind and allowing me to fish more rods by myself and dealing with fish with out worrying about boat drifting . It also has anchor mode. So if I want to fish a lay down in current I set it to anchor and I fish out of the back of the boat. I think it is a way better system than a power pole. The best deal I found was universal mania I think it was 1,200
