I have tried both the power righting system by Rick White and the Gary's solo-right system and for my boat the Solo-right worked better. I also did not have to drill holes in my boat to attach it like Rick's system. Rick's system also stuck out a little behind the rear cross beam, which I did not like. I know you can cut the excess off but I needed the full length to make it work. Interesting that Gary's pole is shorter and seems to work better. I also like the fact that I can use the pole as a paddle. I was a bit skeptical before purchasing Gary's system that it would actually work but once I tried it I was sold, as it worked absolutely perfect. I do think Rick's system is great but it just turns out for me that Gary's system worked better for me.
