I just bought the Terrova 2 months ago and absolutely love it. The Ipilot is a great feature. I fish brush, shoot docks, tightline minnows, cast the banks and longline and I would have no other motor. The remote control gives you so much control, including the spot lock feature which is excellent on brush piles and fishing docks. You just have to learn to position the boat properly according to wind and current. I also have a V2 Powerdrive and it's OK but nothing compared to the Terrova. I'll probably sell the powerdrive now that I'm hooked on the Terrova. Also have a Riptide for saltwater and it's fairly easy to change over from season to season. As sinker stated, the mounting plates make it even easier to change over as needed.
