Thrust vectors... are they worth it for an AR 195 2020 or due to the articulating keel I will see no modification at all

not sure about the 2020 model but hard no to think the more rudders you have in the water the better the boat will respond also keep in mind thrust vectors move up at speed so you don't get the extra control,
cobrajet steering fins you can "lock" down or whatever angle you choose for always on steering,
it's whatever you prefer, we have many posts about them and you can visit their websites, it's pretty straight forward,

Wanted to weigh in on this one: As a new owner of Thrust Vector Wake fins I can say you will really notice the addition instantly. As [HASH=3622]#Scottintexas[/HASH] points out, the higher speeds won't be affected much, but I found it much easier to steer while wake surfing at speeds less than 10 miles per hour. The response time of the boat when turning the steering wheel is drastically increased. We trailer in the Illinois River almost every weekend, and due to the current (as well as a busy 4 boat ramp launch) the control I picked up with the fins is priceless. I have a 2021 AR195, so basically the same boat you have. I would suggest Yamaha puts these stock on all future boats.

After a few outing my wife and I didn't have issues with slow speeds single or twin. Ours is the wandering you get at speeds from 20 to 35, any rollers you get they just push you around.
