IMHO the Ipilot simply gives you the most options to control your boat in the way that works best for you!  I personally don't understand how you could use the remote and fish at the same time!  If I am fishing I use the foot pedal, but the remote is always handy.  Once a fish is in the net you can hit spot lock and keep from drifting on to the spot or into danger.  If I'm guiding I use the remote because I can move freely around the boat.  I agree with Mike about working a spot too fast but I prefer to use AP and constant because I think switching the motor on and off and making large steering moves is more obtrusive to the fish than a constant quiet drone.  These are simply my opinions and what works for me.  The point is: I always want the maximum amount of versatility.  Almost every day we encounter unique fishing scenarios and situations.  I want every possible tool to deal with them!  I've always thought... If I'm not the smartest, most talented fisherman... I can make up for some of my shortcomings by working harder and having the best possible equipment![/QUOTE]
