Phat, I saw your post about your cable.

RB - The first cable broke just from wear. We were heading down the lake at 27 mph when it happened and the boat took a HARD right turn. Luckily nobody went in, but it was close.

Now after sitting on the trailer my steering froze and I think I screwed up my 1 year old cable by turning the wheel too hard trying to free it (there's play in it now).

Two things:
1) I want to fix it once and for all - don't want to buy a new cable every year or two.
2) Ever since that thing gave way on the lake at speed it makes me very nervous. Especially the abuse I put my V through in the ocean. Its hard on the steering when you put in 100 miles through 2-3 fters in one day alone with a full load.

That's my dilemna, so what do ya'll think? The Baystar makes me nervous because its "up to 150 hp". I'm leaning toward Seastar but man that $900 is gonna hurt big time!
