nice to have but not a need to have in MOST cases.

that said launching and waiting in a 23ft boat in the narrow drop area of Callville Bay on Mead, there have been a few times I would have liked to have the ability to move around more than a wakeboat will. nosing up to the dock to pick my my girl after parking the truck is a $hitshow some days and having the extra turning ability would be nice. not for 8grand tho......

when we launched on the fox river and tons of wide open room I don't get thrusters at all....
