Looking at the riptide powerdrive 55 with ipilot for a 16 ft boat - mostly freshwater but getting into salt more and more. I like the idea of ipilot and staying on a location without an anchor. Don't know how much I'd end up using the contour trolling feature.

I've only owned foot controlled motors.

Anything better I should be looking at?

I have an 80 I'll make you a deal on. It has foot pedal and remote pilot. Saltwater version.

Used maybe 20x

Have a Riptide 55SP with I-pilot, don't know how I ever fished before getting it. Use the anchor 99% of the time. It is mounted on a 17'3" fiberglass shallow water skiff. Have had it hold on anchor mode in all but the most severe current and wind conditions.
