PerfectPass completes testing of its ZO simulation software at Shortline Lakes in California. Feedback was unanimously positive from a variety of skiers on all boats tested (2008 MasterCraft, 2002 American Skier and a 2001 Ski Nautique). According to those involved in the evaluation, the enhanced PerfectPass software produced an entrance gate pull and in course feel that duplicated the ZO system. In addition to the ZO feel, the enhanced software produced even tighter time tolerances pass after pass.

PerfectPass plans to produce a small quantity of the Z Box Simulator Kits which will be available late this year. Pricing is yet to be set but is expected to be less than $500 and will be “plug & play” with any Star Gazer System.

PerfectPass ZO Simulator Update

Unfortunately, due to a number of issues including very poor weather in the North East our testing schedule is well behind schedule. At this juncture it is our plan to continue to test, tweak and evaluate this project over the coming months. If and when the project is approved, it will take at least 8-10 weeks from that point to put into production. Be assured, PerfectPass is fully committed to the success of this product and looks forward to keeping you informed.

PerfectPass ZO Simulator Update

Further to our last announcement, we wish to advise that more encouraging testing has taken place in Florida over the past week. At this point we will be scheduling further testing and evaluation over the coming two months. It would be our hope that by late May a definitive decision will be made on the final details of this endeavor.

In the event the product is brought to market, it will simply be a small device that will plug into any existing PerfectPass Star Gazer Three Event System.

Speculation of a PerfectPass Slalom Upgrade

Over the last few days there has been much speculation / rumors that PerfectPass will be offering an upgrade to its competitive slalom process that will simulate the pull of ZO. While PerfectPass can confirm that some preliminary (and encouraging) testing has taken place in Mexico, the decision to actually develop this add on hardware is months away. In the meantime, a significant amount of software development and more testing is required in order to determine whether such a product meets the needs of our users while being commercially viable.

We appreciate the interest shown by many of our customers.

Star Gazer Upgrades Sales Robust - While the new boat industry is suffering due to very low sales volume , PerfectPass has seen a strong rebound from customers upgrading or adding speed control to their existing boats. According to Gary Allen with PerfectPass, “Our customers are telling us they can’t imagine buying a new boat in this economy so are investing in their existing boat which works just fine. This customer trend has meant that many marine accessories like PerfectPass Systems and Star Gazer Upgrades have remained strong and even increased over last year in some areas.”.
