I'm very curious what this means?
It doesn't mean anything, just a little falsehood he likes to drop in the middle of a run-on sentence. Both systems have their merits.

Plenty of folks on here have both systems and like/love them both. I have the Thrust Vectors and Lateral Thrusters on my boat and love them.

I suggest you really reading the numerous reviews from dozens of people on here and then make a choice. Don't just order something, then cancel it and order something else on a whim...... Just my 2 cents. Good luck!
I find the TVs bend easily. If you spend time at a sand bar or back in very close to the beach, they are more prone to bending. The Cobras are much stronger, thicker and provide more flexibility on how much blade you want in the water. I had the TVs. Bought them shortly after purchasing the boat (dealer gave me a great price; couldn't refuse). After being on this forum and hearing about the Cobra products the decision was simple. IMO the TVs are way overpriced for what you're getting. With all that said, Yes the TVs work and they work great. Just explaining my observations.

Ok, So, first off i wanna thank everyone for their comments, opinions, and advise. After doing my research and reading what you all said, i realized my 2019 SX does not need lateral thrusts, which i was gonna purchase with the TVs. The Cobras are a little more money but are more durable and don't hang down below the rudder, Thank you Cobra Jet, I have purchased these and looking forward to putting these on asap. CHEERS everyone
