that's a tough call. If you plan on keeping the boat ,I would put a berkley in it.I did this conversion and picked up 15MPH!!

If you're lookng for a serious rooster tail don't get the one from Panther that wil run you the $800. They only get a couple feet out of the water. There is a company that is supposedly making a conversion piece that bolts to the panther jet intake and then a berk can be bolted to it, I don;t know if its in production yet though. I haven't heard of any other custom diverter jobs that ever turned out but I made a diverter for mine, not really a bolt on piece, I kind of turned the pump housing into a diverter but it will throw a pretty decent roost, a lot higher than needed but looks awesome. Here's a pic of it about 3/4 of the way up.
