Unless you have a heavy full skeg single-screw boat.

I have a full Keel single screw heavy boat with Ginormous windage
issues and still need no thruster in tight quarters..but I admit it
would be nice at time, but not needed.

Some boats need thrusters to do a job they were buildt to do.

No boat *needs* a bow thruster. But it can be darn nice to
have when maneuvering in tight quarters.
