Vectors or cobras?

[Trevor Shipman]

Yeah so I’m strictly on lakes. I had the old Cobra’s that I swapped out for the Thrust Vectors. Just looking at how much bigger they were I assumed I would get more performance out of them. I feel like I lost performance switching? Or could it be just that it handles differently than I’m used to? When I would let go of the steering wheel to get a “soda” out of the cooler, used to the boat turning and not holding a straight line, however correcting the steering back in the other direction seemed to take longer.

So now I’m interested in how the Vectors compare to the new Cobra Ultimates. Or am I splitting hairs on performance?

I just installed the Cobra fins with fangs. Low speed handling is much improved, as expected, and is probably similar to the Thrust Vectors.

Where the Cobras shined is higher speed .... I really noticed a huge difference, especially pulling 2 - tubers. The boat now really bites in the turns now like my old stern drive did. I am glad I went with the Cobras, I noticed an immediate difference and got exactly what I was hoping for.

I think the lateral thrusters are next level, but they are expensive and I dont think I need them with fins on.


Just my $.02
