    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.
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

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

    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.

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