Thanks. I'm not too concerned about the control aspect. I'm going to have the iPilot remote control added which will supposedly hold a GPS heading pretty well. That's a separate discussion, but in general I've heard and read good things about the iPilot.

I'm just wondering about the power - if it will be enough to hold in medium river currents. I know the 101 lb thrust is an option, but I'd rather not go that route, and I'm getting a lot of differing opinions as to whether the 80lb will do the job.
