Cheapest option for perfect pass on 03 moomba?

[Gqjeff]

Can someone shed some light or provide a link of what to buy?

TIA, Jeff

Do you run rivers, lakes or both?

Stargazer will be the easiest install - but if you run somewhere with a river current you find you need to adjust speed to compensate when surfing and boarding because the GPS can't tell that you are already going with or against a few mph flow. GPS never needs calibration.

The paddle wheel will be a more difficult install, but river currents won't mess with you. You will need to check and adjust calibration every year or two. Price wise I want to say one is $100 more, just can't recall which!

I ordered directly from Perfect Pass - got a comparable price to anywhere else, free overnight shipping, the most amazing customer service on the planet (as you've probably heard) and even got a credit back for sharing pics of my install.

Personally I went with Stargazer and would recommend it. Even though we are in a river half the time, a few hits on the ^ or V to fine tune the speed/wake is no biggie usually.

No river riding here only lakes... Ok I will check into it. If I recall the stargazer is over a G correct?

I would love to get one as well. Has there ever been a group buy on PP?

[bergermaister]

Not that I recall but if you were inclined to reach out to them and set one up you are more than welcome to give it a shot!

Yes, time to warm up the visa if you are ready for PP.

I have perfect pass wakeboard pro. it's an oldersystem, but it works great.

Unlike Greg, I have a paddle wheel and don't regret it at all. I ride on the same river as he does and personally, I like the fact that I don't have to adjust my speed depending on whether we're going up vs. downstream. It's a difference between speed over water vs. speed over land of easily 2 to 3 mph on our river. I also like that the paddlewheel gets me water temp.

Now, if I rode on a lake, I wouldn't care.

That said, if I was in the market again, I'd have to check out Ridesteady. They have a comparable product and their price is enough less to make me check it out.

$895 less a $100 credit for doing a writeup of your install:

When did you get PP???? Last year you were bitching and moaning about wanting it as a "someday" upgrade. With all that, I figured you'd never get around to it...

Installed in 2011.

Could have been the voices in your head from those fruity margarita pouches.

But they're so yummy...

yummy...

Huh? What were we talking about?
(I'm thirsty)

[Gqjeff]

Might be a stupid question but could you use your current paddle wheel hole for this?

[parrothd]

You don't need a new paddle wheel you use the existing one for the speedo. You just splice it in or use the wiring harness..

We have stargazer and love it.

I can set almost anyone in the drivers seat and get a great pull.
Best money I have spent on the boat.

Well I did contact Perfect Pass and tried to see about a group buy but I was told that they don't do those because it drives down their already small profit margin. :( I would love to have one but $1200 is a lot of cash....

[maxpower220]

Not a lot cheaper, but contact Max at skier to skier. He was the "best" price that I found. His knowledge of skiing and the product are very good. He may offer a group rate if you go to him with a fixed number ready to buy.

I have SG and it's great.

[996scott]

Just shot him an email.....we'll see.

[parrothd]

1200$ sounds really high, maybe pickup an older unit, pro ng series, probably closer to $600..

[bergermaister]

Could always try to piece one together?

[996scott]

So max got back to me and the cost for the wakeboard edition is $1,097.00 this is just the best price they have, not a group buy. I emailed back to see if there was any chance he could do $1,000 if we got 5 or more.

I thought about this but I really don't know what parts to get. I would probably be better off just buying the whole package new.

[996scott]

So we can't get anything cheaper than the $1,097 for the wakeboard edition. Dang.

[liquid_acid]

If you guys can find a group buy anywhere, I would be interested.

[liquid_acid]

I saw on another forum that they got a group buy of 6 people to buy the wake edition

Call Jody at FL Inboards. Good guy. Maybe he has an inside track on another group buy.
