    Perfect Pass Star Gazer w/ Z Box

    OK, I have a 2003 Nautique 196 LE and have been getting into 38' OFF at 34 MPH. I want to ski some local tournaments for FUN, and only for fun! I know I will be using ZERO OFF for the tournaments and have been skiing a few times on a Nautique 200 CB with ZERO OFF set to B2 @ 34.2 MPH. Anyways, I have my 6.4 verson of RPM bases perfect pass set up with decent course times and have been using that for 3 years now.

    What I am looking for, is anyone that has done the Stargazer and Z Box upgrades? Wondering, how easy was it? Were you satisfied? Where did you buy it? Anything else I should know? Did the GPS course mapping work well and was it easy?

    Thanks for some insight perfore I lay down my hard earned cash.

    I upgraded to Zbox on my 98 Ski and am all smiles. Out of the box, times were within +/- 0.02 of actual times ball-to-ball and often times spot on. The course mapping is great. System locks in like never before. As with anything re: boats and water, YMMV, but the people who have driven and skied my boat (myself included) have been happy with how it drives and pulls.

      WA h2o ski - struggling with the same decision on my 06. I have posted on this sitE a few times and did not get much on the zbox. But go to the http://www.ballofspray.com/forum and search zbox and you will get A ton of info. From what I have read it is very positve and upgrade is easy.
