2005 Crownline 202
Used the Hydrophase system now for 3 days straight. One word: awesome! Makes towing wakeboarders and kneeboarders enjoyable for the driver.
A hidden benefit that I was not thinking about was the relaxation while cruising the lake. Our lake was very busy and rough yesterday. At the end of the day we went on a long cruise, which is usually hectic for the driver, to go slow over the wakes while keeping the boat on plane. I set the Hyrdrophase at 18 MPH and was as relaxed as the passengers. With the ability to fine tune the speed and collect good GPS speed information, I learned things about our boat I never knew. We've had this boat for 7 years and I'm usually so busy running the throttle, I've been missing some small things that I wouldn't have learned.
I'm like a kid with a new toy using the Hydrophase system. Great system, thanks.
THREE YEAR UPDATE:
Just wanted to give you an update on our Hydrophase system on our 2004 Crownline.We are still loving the Hydrophase system. Considering we were ready to get a different boat when I installed the system, it has been the best upgrade investment we've made.
We installed a wake-tower 2 years ago, but we never would have done that without the speed control.
I've had several friends pull me while I'm wake-boarding and they always comment how easy the speed control system makes our boat to drive.
