cut the divider out marty;) i think the divider in my droop is spliting my roostertail:mad: i'm cutting it out this week:D

I did a search on the divider a few weeks ago and from what I read everyone said to cut it out.
What I couldn't find was, would you gain anything from removing the divider?

no gain for the amount of work.i know of 3 peeps cutting them out and smoothing the interior walls gained not a damn thing other than alot of work.:jawdrop: so thats my opinoin.good luck.:D

THANX ALL! I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE STRAIGHT SNOOT,LIKE THE ONE HTP HAS AVAILABLE.ANY OPINIONS ON THAT.i don't feel like grinding!:D

Well I have a snoot on my 21 daytona and it works great for my application and that being said every boat is different.
I would call up Duane at HTP and see what his past testing with your style of boat was. Did it help? Did it hurt? Just call or he might chime in on the boards;)
On my boat before the blower I added just the snoot and 7 degrees of wedge up and gained a gps 9mph:devil:
So it helped me allot, also made the boat handle better, easier to steer and more control over the boat.
Good luck;)

You get a straight rooster back. I hate when the tail is divided.....

I know every boat is different, but when I cut the divider out, I saw no improvement. My roost still has a slight v shape to it looking from inside the boat.
I could not notice any performance gains at all.
As far as the snoot, I'll post results for my application in about 2 weeks. I took off the AT droop to give it a shot. What the hell, its only money.
Duane suggested the 4 deg up pin angle for my heavy sled (3400) plus all the crap.
He also said to try it first with a 4 deg up wedge also.
We'll see.
Oh, and if it works, I'll be selling the AT droop with the divider removed.

Where were you when I asked if anyone had one I could try???:mad:
I'm curious, did Duane think it would work in your application? He told me I could trade it for other designs if this did not work out, did you explore this option?
I bet if you advertize it, it would be sold very quick. I could not find a used anywhere. What finish is it?

hell if i know where i was probably arguing somewhere lol!!!:) yes he thought it would do wonders and if anything it wouldnt hurt well in my boat it did hurt.:jawdrop: no i bought it used off of futs.not his fault mine for listening to everybody that it was the shit to have.:idea: i keep all my stuff never sell anything i buy for my jets.:D maybe one day it will help something but i ve tried it on 3 boats now and wamo the same shit mine was the only one that slowed down the most with it.
now it may very well help your boat or others but not all boats like them nor do they like droops.ive tried it on my sj 18ft v-hull,jbn youngblood tx-19 no gain,18ft cp tunnel no gain over droops or stock coupler,so go figure it hasnt worked on anything ive found.just remember that some have had good luck with them so you it might do good for ya.
mine is just a cast finish with 0degree pin angle i tried it straight, 4 up, all the way to 8 up with wedges and me no luck.later trav.:idea:

RonJane will be all over this thread very soon.........

Well looks like we've come around to my application. I haven't posted because mine's a semi-v and the original post was with regards to a tunnelboat.
It worked on mine. 2.5 mph gain, but not until I got some tuning info from Duane and played around with wedging and rideplate angle.
Standard droops (AT, Berk, Place, Aggressor etc) don't work on every boat either.
