Just like I said in your Verado thread, get the most you can afford and that will fit. If you're getting the 621, get a 36v 100 lb motor.

As for iPilot/AutoPilot/CoPilot, I have CoPilot which is just a remote for my Terrova. It works for me. I don't have any of the GPS or cool features of iPilot. (You may be able to still buy AutoPilot, but I think iPilot is killing it in the market.) I know alot of guys who have iPilot and they seem to like it. I opted against it this year for several reasons for me, but this is about you. Look at those features and I bet you opt for it. And again, let's be honest...if you're buying a 621, you can afford the iPilot.

Built in sonar, known as US2...no, they don't all have that. It's not a "true" as the factory ducer, but it works...though I trust my Lowrance stern ducer when I need it to count.

Deploy methods....basically we're looking at either cable drive like on a Maxxim or Fortrex, or a Terrova or Power Drive for electric motor drive. Most bass guys prefer cable drive for it's quicker response. But many muskie and walleye guys prefer the Terrovas. You can't get iPilot on the cable drives. It's going to be up to you.
