Perfect Pass - Pay for Install or Do Yourself?

[chpthril]

Yes, Tige has some big changes in store for the dealers meeting in July 2009. Wish we knew what was coming.

Those of us in the loop do Nah nah nah nah nah

True and I am not one of those people. It's okay, I can wait until July.

I just got off the phone with mark from perfect pass, he said they will have a GPS system for mechanicale thottle boats out by the end of may. there will bo no paddle wheel to instal in the hull. should be the same price point as the p.p.pro. I am sending him an e-mail & he will let me know as soon as the units are available. mark@perfectpass.com

YEAH!!!! Thanks for everything. I just talked to Mark at PP as well and I guess I am waiting until the end of May!! I still think that is better than drilling a 2" hole in my boat!

[fleetpaint]

I agree! we will see if this pans out?

So @ the end of May I can order a PP w/ gps for my '02 20v w/out the throttle by wire and I don't have to cut my hull?????
Sounds too good to be that easy

I know, I agree, but I have waited this long I can wait another month! The exact reason I called myself! "fleetpaint" was right on the money!!!

Dude, where's my car?

I wonder how often does the GPS based systems sample , reason I ask even high end GPS plotters on boats I have seen none of them sample at a very high rate so there is a time delay. They would would great for constant direction/speed stuff but worry in a area with short runs they would over shoot more then paddle wheel feedback.

Plus GPS still goes down every once in a while. I was out doing fieldwork this summer where we relied on a very accurate Trimble GPS...usually withing 1 foot accuracy, and most of the gps satellites went down for almost 3 hours so our accuracy was not closer than 3 meters, we had to stop work and could get no speed reading. The cool part was we were over around the Kennedy Space Center and we had one of NASA's biologists with us so he go an answer very quickly for us. Enough rant about GPS, I would still put a paddle wheel in. I wonder how the GPS reacts to currents???

Signguy, you boat on Lake Medina? That's where I grew up, well for 8 years atleast.

[signguy22]

I do...Medina is where I typically ride. I am new to TX, well 4 years anyways...from Chicago originally, like the weather here better. So now I am second guessing the GPS vs Paddle wheel! I am going to wait until end of May and see what PP comes out with.
