Perfect Pass Group buy?

[jleger98]

Anyone interested? PM me if you want. Wakeboard Pro is $1040 shipped. Not sure what the discount would be. depends on number of people.

Would this work on my 1999 2100i? I read something the other day about drive by wire and that our older boats won't work with this until the gps unit comes out or somthing. ??
Thanks.

Fit,

They have a new model of PP coming out this month that will work on wire and GPS.

The PerfectPass Wakeboard Pro works just fine on a non-throttle by wire boat. I've had mine for 3 years and I love it! I wouldn't wait for GPS. It'll be more expensive and without a map feature, who cares? The paddle wheel will actually be more accurate if you're on a river with any kind of flow.

The new GPS does not require a hole in the hull and it was relayed on here that the price was comparable to PPWPro. For me personally, that's worth waiting for as I don't board on rivers anyhoo.


I am DEFINITELY in if we can get a better price on the GPS. I'm buying it either way in the next few weeks, but if we can save some loot heck yeah!

I bet they drop their price on the WakeboardPro version, after they introduce the GPS version. I am seriously considering adding PP, not sure which version I want to go with, but I think it's a good idea to wait and see what happens with the prices after the GPS verison comes out.

[dogbert]

I'd get PerfectPass either way, don't get me wrong. I see your point about not drilling holes, it would save you beer on the install

Besides, he was asking about a non-throttle by wire system, so why wait (of course, you are in Wisconsin so you're probably not getting into the water until late June anyway).

I am down with the group purchase - I am definately getting PP, but was waiting to see the info on the GPS version! Keep me on the list1

[TeamAllen]

I'm waiting on the GPS info.

Good point about the price potentially coming down with the new GPS release. Might be a great question to ask when you go for the group buy. Let me know and thanks.

My understanding is that the GPS version is for throttle-by-wire only. DO you guys know differently?

This month is scheduled to have the GPS for the wired folks.

You mean cable driven throttles, right? I thought there was an aftermarket GPS version out now for "throttle-by-wire" engines, and a GPS based system coming for the older cable driven engines.

Since I have Tige cruise, I dont really keep up with the PP anyway, so someone correct me if i'm confused on this.

yes, from my understanding from the posts on this website, they are coming out with it this month.

I seriously doubt you have throttle by wire on a 1999 so, Yes yours will work.

Correct.

The regular Perfect Pass systems are designed for the cable driven throttle sytems.

Whereas newer engines are controlled by the ECM via a wire, no mechanical cables needed. Therefore the perfect pass system does not work on T-B-W systems.

From what I understand the new GPS version should be compatible with the T-B-W system. But I dont understand how. Becuase the GPS doesnt change how it operates the engine just the method of measuring speed.
