One rough night offshore spend without it will change your mind. All boats need one to go bow into the seas (or need to tie up to a pot which is really not recommended)
I've used the paratech, they are nice and simple and pretty heavy duty. Why would you want to go stern first into the seas? I was going to get the paratech but I think the fiorentino I think is even better. Both systems have a simple bag set-up. you literally just toss the entire thing in the water and walk away and there is a great retrieval set up that allows it to be retrieved by one person in heavy weather with ease.
I am mainly getting one for laying over at night and in case of a breakdown or get thru some heavy weather and course to set up for chunking and lastly to controlling drift speed while bottom fishing
