Trolling motor for 207XP supreme

[CrookedResident]

Curious as to others opinions for what trolling motor best suits this boat.  Boat will be powered by a 60/40 Mercury four stroke jet, and will be mostly for bull shoals tail water for trout and feeder creeks for bass.   Thanks

MOTOR GUIDE WIRELESS W45 WITH HANDHELD REMOTE.  I HAVE THEM ON TWO BOATS, A SUPREME AND RIVER SKIFF.

I own a Supreme 2060 Series I went the less expensive route with a Motor Guide regular foot control 45lbs Thrust

Likes:

Tons of thrust for this boat.

Can set a spider chair on casting deck and fish sitting down.

Can easily remove trolling motor and only leave mounting base on boat. 

Dislikes:

Only control boat from the deck, i was trolling for Walleye at Bull Shoals and with a big open boat like the 2060 it would have been very handy to be able to have control in the back or middle of the boat.

Foot control takes up a fair amount of room on the casting deck.

Thanks for the replies.  I'm still weighing my options.

I just bought the Powerdrive V2 for my 20 ft Javelin. I know its a completely different setup than what you have but I think these motors would absolutely shine in the tail water scenario. The spot lock feature works really well with a slight wind or current with very little correction needed to keep it on spot. Same with the cruise control, if you put the nose of the boat up stream and pick a GPS speed you can litterally "crawl" up stream at .1 mph incriments. For a fly fisherman the additional space without a foot control is a bonus also. 

Bass fishing has been a love hate for me with it. Ive only had it out a couple times but I have found it to be very useful...in certain situations. In open water and banks free of dock obstructions I love it. I can pick a course and lock the cruise control in. I can make a track along a bank and retrace that track for up to two miles going at whatever speed I want. However I fish LOZ a lot, and around docks the remote is a PITA..the V2 does not come with a foot control however I bought one as a backup in case the remote ever went down. Glad I did because its a necessity fishing docks and tight spaces. The spot lock without some kind of current or wind can be tricky to. The motor seems to be constantly correcting itself, which honestly doesnt bother me bass fishing but I could see it getting frustrating trying to sit over brush for crappies or stay on a school dropshotting. 

Hope this helps and good luck!
