I have the SMI Stay n Play purchased this spring. The info on proportional is helpful as I was not certain of the whether the braking (vacuum) pressure changed on regular breaking or only in panic mode. I now understand it.The panic option works well as I have had to use it and the rig/dingy stopped quite quickly.
A key point on the stay n play is this. Some dingy's will not have enough room under the driver's or passenger seat to house the box. However I spoke to SMI who indicated to have the dealer request more line when ordering so it could be situated in the trunk. This was my preference anyway as it is out of sight. The box only needs to be velcroed to the trunk floor and with quick release hookups can be removed for those times you won't be towing for some time.
Having the vacuum pump attached to the shaft of the brake pedal takes a little getting used to as there is not a lot of room on small cars. However one quickly becomes accustomed to it.
Thanks for your help and hopefully this contributes a little something.
