The Viper is a fixed mount system. I personally liked the fact that the the ultimate was spring loaded and retracts if it contacts something. Less chance of it breaking OEM parts if it contacts something! I also liked the adjustable configuration positions. Even though I've only used it in the recommended position, having the ability to tweak it in the future was another feature that I desired. Don't think that you can really go wrong with either... The only mistake would be using the boat with one!Is there a reason why you chose this over the CJS VIPER Steering System? I'm getting the AR190 and the Viper seems simpler and cheaper.
Awesome!! I installed mine a week ago or so. Love it so far!Ordered the CobraJet Ultimate Deluxe on Monday and had it by Thursday. Took about 30 minutes to install. Jeff is awesome to deal with. He asked the I send him pics of the install so he could verify I did it right. Responded back to me in minutes. Going to take it our this evening to test it out!

The Viper system is a Cobra Jet Steering product as wellI actually didnt know the Viper system existed. I happened upon the cobra jet system and went with it. And, the great thing was I talked to the owner Jeff before I bought the Cobrajet System and felt really comfy. So its really up to you. Both systems work. But as in the above response, the cobra jet system is spring loaded and will retract and has different settings which i believe is also a plus. Bottom line the boat steers a lot better.
Best upgrade you can do in my opinion. But you did make me a little sad as my boat is put away for the winter!Awesome!! I installed mine a week ago or so. Love it so far!

Just got the kids Wakeboards for Xmas, So you are probably right on the money!You're next upgrade should be Ride Steady!
You can get away without it for wakeboarding, barely. But if you plan on surfing it’s absolutely necessary.Just got the kids Wakeboards for Xmas, So you are probably right on the money!
