Trolling motor upgrade

Recommended Posts

I have a Minn Kota PowerDrive V2 (60" 55lbs 12V) on my Starcraft Renegade 168.  Over the pandemic I acquired an iPilot kit for a reasonable price and installed it.  It worked well although I always felt the 55lb was a little underpowered for the size of the boat.  Fast forward two years and now my iPilot head is not working - and it is not worth repairing. 

So I am going to convert it back to a foot pedal control and install the original head back on the motor and sell it.  I'll also sell the iPilot remote that came with the kit.   

So I figure I need a 80lb 24V motor and am looking at the Motor Guide Xi5 c/w GPS and Sonar or the Minn Kota Terrova with iPilot (just not so sure about this technology since my last one only lasted 2yrs).

Any suggestions?  Any idea where the best places to buy these - fishing show??
