This is a winter topic to pass the time. I think the answer will be hell no, will never be practical.
What would it take to convert a mechanical throttle 5.7 (GM vortec, Monsoon or other) to drive by wire?
Will the pieces parts needed ever be cheap enough that a company like PP could offer a conversion kit that includes all the stuff and a new master module? Ideally you would trade in your old master module and servo motor. They could refurb those and resell them.
I have always been curious to know how different the pull is with PP DBW vs PP mechanical? No one in my circle of friends has a PP DBW boat.
I think most will say “IF” you want to upgrade sell the boat and buy a ZO boat.

Is this going to change the Elite rankings list?
I thought the list was finalized each October but at http://www.iwsfranking.com/ I didn't see a 2019 list. I am talking about the the list used for Masters invitations.
@RazorRoss3 @PUoldmaid In a world when society is screaming everything must be equal and fair. What would be fair about a man competing in a woman’s sport?
Now someone is going to say this is hateful. It’s not about hate at all. If a man wants to wear a dress and have some kind of surgery, then so be it, it’s his choice. If he wants to enjoy this sport, fine and dandy. Just don’t try to compete with the women.
@Horton it’s a bad joke (sarcasm is hard online). Didn’t Scott always say they were the greatest thing ever.
Horton thanks for all you do to keep this site going!
@Stejcraftben you pay the shipping and I’ll sell you my ‘01 Lx for $18K (that’s a steal!). Stargazer 9.2, aluminum trailer, new cover, new Bimini, wedge, tower.
I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. But it cracks me up when you see a 2013 TXI on SIA for $52K... Really?! If I had an extra 52K don’t you think I would get a 200 mid-30K or a Prostar? Nothing against a Boo.
If you don't have time to do a three or four step process try Meguiar's One Step compound, it did a good job on my boat. You need to use a electric buffer or it would take forever.
