Pretty small price difference. For the extra money, the engineering logic makes sense.Any feedback from others if it
Is worth it to go ahead and get the deluxe?
Also, I see the benefits but are there any drawbacks with these fins such as reduced top speed or anything?
Thank you for that testimonial I appreciate your account of how you enjoy the handling of your jet boat. any people tell me that their jet boat with my steering handles better than their previously owned prop boat well being able to steer with no thrust should pretty well establish thatPretty small price difference. For the extra money, the engineering logic makes sense.
My experience is only with the system installed, as I put it on before my boat ever touched water. I can tell you that I have experienced no drawbacks of any kind. My ability to maneuver this boat is superior to any traditional outboards I've operated - partially due to the twin engines and partially to the cobra jet system. And when my neighbor had trouble pulling alongside me so we could float out in the lake last summer and watch the fireworks, I asked them to shut their engine down. I was then able to pull in alongside them while they were still in the slow rotation they failed to control, and settled in softly against their fenders. The experienced operators in the other boat couldn't believe my jet boat could be that maneuverable. I definitely feel like it gives me a lot more control than I expected, at all speeds.
