Opinions will differ greatly on this. I was finless for 5.5 seasons and added Thrust Vectors and they do help. I’d like to try some Cobras as well at some point. Either will help with low speed steering.

We have the same boat and I installed the Cobra fins last week. Installation was easy and they definitly improve slow speed handling. I’m sure the Thrust Vector fins work as well. I went with the Cobra since the installation seemed a bit easier. We keep our boat on a lift and I did the install on the lift (over the water).

Which CJ did you purchase? Thanks.

Installed the cobra kit last week- night and day change at low speed and just enough feel added to open throttle- very happy!

Cobra's here..can't tell you what other systems are like however Cobra's are a necessity in slow windy conditions like docking!

Update....Added the Cobra Jet last week before going out on Saturday. Wow! What a difference in control at low and wake speeds! Made docking and trailering boat so much better! Thanks for all the input and advise.
