Default Where to buy I pilot?

Thinking about moving up to an I pilot. 1699 seems to be about the going rate.

I was tempted to wait on that MG when I got mine ?
How do you like it ?
How is the spot lock ?
Is it quiet ?

I love mine. I've only used it on trip and still learning it. It does make life much easier. It's almost like you have someone running the trolling motor for you. I also like that I can control it from anywhere in the boat. And the anchor feature is great. If someone is getting a new trolling motor these new wireless GPS units are the only way to go.

I will say the remote is very basic. If your looking for something with more bells and whistles then the Minn Kota might be a better fit. I like that mine is simple. But that's me.

Just last week I bought the MG Saltwater 80# XI-5 with GPS Anchor from shut-up-and-fish.com for $1,349.00 no taxes or shipping. Then got $100.00 rebate from MG. Total $1,249.00. Took 4 days for UPS shipping. Tried it last weekend on BL. VERY IMPRESSED!!
