We are about to order a new 30' + fishing boat and have been offered the
option of a bow thruster. I have no experience with this and wonder if
anyone could provide some good input.

Thanks,

If the boat your looking at is a single engine, a thruster is nice to
have. But if it's twins, on a boat around 30 feet, you really don't
need it. Their also great on large twin engine boats.
