troller question

[bamacj]

Hi folks, I found the site while doing some research on bayboats "trying to figure out what I want" So I joined up. I have a troller question. Those of you with 21-24 foot'rs which trolling motors are you using or would suggest. I am looking at the I pilot but hear they dont hold up on the larger boats. I would really like to be able to control the troller remotely but will go another route is they break easy. Thanks for your thought.

The boats I am looking at currently are

frontier 21'
blackjack.
pathfinder 21/22

I am open to suggestions having never owned a bay boat. The usage will be for specs, reds, flounder and the occasional trip for snapper and such as seas permits.

Not looking to spend more than 50k + options. The frontier looks to be more of an entry level boat but I dont need a lot of bells and whistles.

Again thanks for your thoughts. Joe
