I have a 101lb Terrova iPilot on my 19' aluminum deep V. Overall I have been really happy with it. I don't know how I ever survived without remote control! On a calm day it will pull my boat just over 3 mph. 10-15 mph wind and I'm lucky to get 2.5. It does pretty well on battery life but if you run it wide open don't count on getting much more than a half day of fishing out of it. Noise isn't too bad at medium settings but if you're running it at 10 you're going to know it's on! Deployment is a breeze too. Overall I think there is still room for improvement but I wouldn't dream of sending it back!
