    A friend of mine knows two guys who had bad luck with them. One lasted two passes, the other lasted about 18 seconds. Until I started looking around, I was going to get two 300A units, but I'll just go with the Swordfish X now.

        Wow. I didn’t even know Ose carried these. They look pretty cool. I like the design. Any experienced boaters tried these yet?

          No problems at all? Just picked up a boat with one installed and I am hoping it will be good to go.

              Please do!! I don't care to burn up $500 if they're crap.

                    Steven V has been testing them for a little while now and has positive things to say about them. I don't recall exactly which models he's been running. Some of the early failures I've read about were very early on in production, not the models I see available now. I agree, those 300A units look beefy and have a lot of caps on them.

                        Unfortunately, no data logging.

                          I am thinking of using them in my twin 53'' cat but won't buy till they are out for a bit... I just have a Swordfish die with only two runs on it. Worked just fine whet to run it a 3rd time and it won't start back up.... Seems to be like most things today made in China you mite get a good one or you mite not........

                            Was it the Swordfish X ? I just bought the 220 for my Geico boat. However, I'm still waiting for the Radtek to show up and in need of two 300A controllers for it. Two MGM's would cost about $150 more that the SF X 300's. May buy them, but that's a lot of $$$.
