Is it worth it ??? you bet, if you have the funds -- You said the boat was new to you -- If you wanted to sell at some time it might be the thing that makes the new owner really want to buy -- Long lining - pulling Crank Baits - fishing a Deep waypoint.. It could even be considered a safety reason to buy it now .. we had a person last fall had his boat get away when launching.. He swam to try and catch it -- Loosing his Life. If he had spot Lock the boat would never have got away
