perfect pass worth it?

I have been looking through some perfect passes, are they really worth a grand? (WB pro) and whats so much the differance between WB pro and the regular Cruise for 675?

The consensus around here is that perfect pass is well worth it, do not leave home with out it.

yah, its like the ultamite cruise control, you will never slow down no matter how hard you pull as a skier/wakeboarder.

I am pretty sure the perfect pass cruise works off the RPM of the engine as it does not have the thru-hull paddle wheel speed censor. I find that on my boat if I use the perfect pass in RPM mode (as you will have to do with perfect cruise) the pull is very inconsistent. And I would say it is worth the grand

Perfect Pass is good for straight riding....wait, its friggin awesome for straight riding, but it does have a tendency to screw up d-ups

i've never had a bad double up riding behind a boat with perfect pass. It is worth the money (i know it's alot of money - but still a good investment). Anybody can drive if you have perfect pass. I've driven about 3-4 wakeboard boats with perfect pass and about 2-3 wakeboard boats without and the difference is amazing. No worrys with perfect pass - I say get it

PP can be a little bit strong (too compensating) during tight turns, but if you set up the d-up with that in mind, you can usually keep it pretty clean

Perfect Pass is a great technology for boats. In most cases it is worth it, but it depends on what kind of boat it is and how long you are going to keep it and how much you use the boat and if you have well trained drivers. If you drop a grand+ for PP in a 5-10 y.o. I/O you will probably never see that domero again. Most I/O shoppers simply wouldn't appreciate the value of PP. Then if you sell that boat in a year or 2 it may a high price to pay and wouldn't be worth it in my books.

No doubt about it - It will be worth every penny. Get the Pro.

Mobe789, Everyone drives better with PP. Mine pulls thru d-ups ok too. You can adjust the settings to customize the pull. I have WB Pro on an 02 Moomba LSV. My wife appreciates it too Smile

IT just goes really fast on double ups but all you do for that is you just use the throttle and it shuts off then after the double up u get up to speed and it kicks in again, id get it

i really want a perfect pass too, i'm really mad i didn't include it in when i bought my boat $1000 would have meant like $5 more a month and thats a lot better that me trying to find a $1000 now to pay for it Sad

My team boat is a Nautique 206 with Digital Pro. And my experience is as follows: i thas a much more inconsistant pull when pulling a wakeboarder. It speeds up more on turns, and slows down more when the rider cuts hard into the wake. Really it's made for slalom skiing IMO.

My families 05' Wakesetter has WB Pro and it doesn't cause the above problems. (litle varience but not noticable). Plus WB Pro preforms WAY better when the boat is heavily weighted than digital pro.

All in all WB Pro is betterfor wakeboarding, but any PP is still MUCH better then no PP at all.

I LOVE MY PERFECT PASS YEAH

I would not have a boat without it. Rode behind a weighted 205 recently and it sucked.. No possible way to keep a consistent pull. The fact that it was an Inboard might have had something to do with it, but man, it was everything I could do just to pull basic tricks.

It is totally worth the $1100, IMO.
