Thinking about adding one of these... anyone add one to their runabout? As good as advertised... pros/cons? Thanks!

I have PP on mine and would never do without it. There is now a Stargazer model which uses GPS for speed control instead of a paddlewheel, so no more drilling a 3 inch hole in your hull.

I love it and it makes it so that nearly anyone can do a good job pulling me on a wakeboard.

Caught that thread... and well done. Thanks for posting it!

Did you look at the Zero Off models at all?

I have PP Stargazer, and use it for just cruising as well. After reading about it on here, I never considered anything else. See "Walt's Mod's" for the install pics, etc.

Hope it helps.

No, I didn't. I had a pretty good idea that it was either going to be PP or SmartTwo (the Merc version of PP). I decided the Zero Off just wasn't what I was looking for.

Thanks pet... I'm 99% sure I'll go with the PP too. :)
