Group Buy 2019 JetBoatPilot Thrust Vector / Lateral Thruster Group Buy

I believe the original Thrust Vector fins will require a trim and I don't think we've actually done a trim template for them. If I were you and if money does not prevent you from getting them, the Thrust Vector X or XV will make life much better for you around the dock when compared to the original Thrust Vectors.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for the quick reply. I wish I could - but don't think it in the budget especially if I'm looking to upgrade with the LT's which I presume would see the greatest impact? Whats the difference between my original TV vs the X or XV?
 
Ill be getting either 1 or 2 XV's for my sx230.....just waiting to see if I have 1 coming in that a buddy never used. Whats the tally at as far as discount?

The difference in slow speed control is literally night and day when you go from the original to the XL or XV. You'll definitely feel like it was worth the investment. Lateral Thruster equally improves your reverse control so you have to decide where you need to focus your dollars. You can't go wrong with either. It comes down to your specific needd
 
Update, I am ordering 3 xv yamahas, 2 for my sx230 and 1 for my nautica jet tender (FXHO drive). They thought that would put it at the 25% at this point and thought it may already be at 25%. I am calling back in a couple hours so they can get accurate tally.
 
So 4 more gets us to 30% guys!
Yep, we'll get there. I am about to post the update on our newsletter and things will start to get interesting. Typically folks wait to get in till the last minute when the discounts are largest.
 
Great News Guys & Gals! As of this morning here's the tally:

Thrust Vector Commitments: 37 and MAX DISCOUNT!!!! Call now to process payment if you have not already done so.

Lateral Thruster Commitments: 24 which puts us at 25% off. There is still tons of time to get this to 35 so spread the word.

+1 for LT purchased yesterday afternoon. I'm done trying back into slips without some assistance!
 
Thanks for the group buy I emailed you with my order! Thanks
 
Need the TV for my Scarab Impulse! I’ll call to get the order set!
 
I think Im in, but have a question, and read so much I confused myself I think. Ordered Sea Dek and trottle lock for the wife (just plain easy- wish it was thinner). My question is, 17' 212 LS, so I have the rudder. Bought it with the Cobra fins on it (although bent from the boat lift). When the Vectors move up while under power, and towing a boarder or tube, does the boat "wash out" or does the rudder prevent that? If so, i like the TVs, and would do the trade in, and buy (+1) for the LTs.

Thanks...this site has been incredible. Boater for well over 20 years, first jet boat!

I’ve got the same boat & in my limited experience so far there is no noticeable wash out from a 180lb guy on wakeboard either while driving or on the board. I have no steering enhancements yet.

We never get phone calls from people complaining of the stern washing out or being pulled around. I think it is a non issue on newer style boats with the keel. Maybe it was an issue on older flat bottom style Yamahas but again we really never hear that sort of complaint.

The Thrust Vector / Lateral Thruster Group Buy is currently at max discount on both items so you're going to save 35% off on both if you order. During this program we do not combine discounts so you'd need to sell your cobras online. We don't take them on trade and give 35% off.
 
UPDATE!!!

Good news folks! Both the Thrust Vector X/XV and Lateral Thrusters have reached MAX DISCOUNT levels!!! 35% off now through the end of the month!!!

NOTE: We must receive at least 35 confirmed payments prior to shipping product so get your payment in asap. Once we receive 35 confirmed payments orders will begin shipping that day. If you want to receive your order sooner, you may pay full price and when all the payments have been received for the group buy the discount will be applied to your card on file.

Call 850-867-1410 today to get your order processed and payment confirmed. Or email us your number and we'll call you.

Thank you!
 
Just did my order for a Scarab 165 HO. She said they only needed a couple more to pay.
