That is just smooth out of sight. I'm sure it's also out of my price range, but tax returns will be here in February. HHHHMMMMMMMMM..................
Anyone know the retail on this toy?
$399.... If it does what they say it will be worth every dime... Of course, you will need to own a Terrova or PowerDrive V2 trolling motor.. Release date in November or December of 09'.. Sooner the betta.. :D
that will give me a reason to spend my income taxes
My game plan is to use side imaging to mark all the targets with way points. Then deploy the trolling motor and record the track over the top of all the way points.. Kinda like connecting the dots and then make a pass pulling some bugs or spider rig across the top of those way points... Find the productive spot and go back and vertical fish the hot spots with the spot lock feature.. That is the theory anyway.. :cool:
That thing is wicked!CF
I have terrovas on two different boats. I'm wondering if one unit will work both of them or will I have to buy two separate units? I can't wait!!
Found this on another site---really sounds good.

CF, You need one of those iPilot controls for that International Harvester of yours. =)rQuote:

The problem, as I see it would be if your not careful you could strip out the screw holes or maybe just wear them out.Quote:

I've been following this guy's field test of the ipilot, and it really sounds like it's going to be fun to use.Quote:

Thanks for posting a link to my i-Pilot field test website. I've been running the i-Pilot on my Terrova 101 for the past couple of weeks, and I'm completely impressed with its ability to perform some pretty challenging boat control tasks.
I added test data for the Spot Lock feature a couple of days ago. If you haven't visited the site recently, you may want to check it out again:
