I thinking of replacing my current trolling motor and I've been giving the remote/wireless models alot of thought.
What's the forum say in the matter? I'm leaning towards the Motor Guide wireless but the Minn Kota SP series looks preety good as well.
Anybody ever had/have one?

I've got a Minn Kota Riptide ST 80 CP/AP (Co-Pilot remote and Auto-Pilot feature) and I've had no problems with it over the last two years. I think it is a matter of preference of where and how you fish that determines what you get. I don't like being confined to the front of the boat when I fish and the Auto-Pilot feature has worked great for me maintaining a slightly forward speed against a good current. Just my 2 cents.
