To drop or not to droop

[MWJSOne]

Here is a picture of the ugly 6 inch bowl ext with a droop the question is leave the droop and ditch the 6 inch
keep the 6 inch and use a Jet O Vator
OR???

[sanger rat]

That droop has got to be draging in the water. I would try the 6 inch and use a Jet O Vator. I run the six inch extension and a snoot but my pump is not set back. My 2 cents.:)

That has got to be one of the ugliest jet pumps I have ever seen

[sanger rat]

That has got to be one of the ugliest jet pumps I have ever seen It's also in an aluminum hull so whats your point?

[MudPumper]

That steering arm does not look too safe.

[MWJSOne]

Its made out of Stainless tubing sometimes the ugly is tuff its called factory works why do you ask cause it works.
I am gong to drop the the 6 inch bowl ext and go just with the droop

[W.O.T]

What is that? :sqeyes: how does that setup work?

[MWJSOne]

Its way over killl the 6 inch ext if putting the nozzel to far back

I'm guessing the ID is consistent. It has to be fatter at the end to accept bolts or have a flange that might drag the water.

belt and suspenders? I'd go with one or the other. but I don't have your kind of money to spend!

Hey that is for me to say LOL. Your 6 inch ext is putting the nozzel to far back :D .
Now what the hell is going on there. Reminds me of those small guys driving those huge 4x4 trucks with the rubber swing nuts hangin from the hitch. Way OVERKILL :D

After a few emails I talked with the guy from New Zealand who helped build
the boat here is what he had to say
Personally I'd lose the bowl extension. The jet-o-vator has one to many 'joints' to upset pressure and flow. Have had mixed results with a bean can nozzels and these hulls, most of the guys go without them. Getting the thrust line down is reasonable important, hence the droop snoot.
The bowl ext has left the building

I have a 2 inch bowl extension I'll sell if that will help ya get where you want.

[sleekcrafter]

I'd like to try that 6" extension, if you not using it, in place of my droop.

[VAMI]

this is whats on my eagle

[sleekcrafter]

I bought a place diverter set-up from Aluminum Squit here on the boards. He was going with the sewer pipe droop from Eagle if I recall correctly.

Hope my PD worked out for you Sleekcrafter? Ya I went with the steel nozzle, no bowl extension. I don't know much about extensions. I do like my steel nozzle but it's kind of a race only part. It takes me awhile to get on plane and I can't make adjustments on the fly. Two old men in a canoe could probably beat me for 40-50 yards. After I get the nose to come over it rides nice. The best part is that I don't break anything and there is nothing for sand to jamb up while running in the shallows. It's also nice to be able to add wedges and get things just right on the GPS instead of screwing around trying to get the PD in just the right "sweet" spot. Truth be told, I'd probably have kept the PD for running at the lake and screwing around, and saved the steel nozzle for racing so I could go back and forth. Anyway, I'm way off topic here. Take this over to the eagle racing forum, there a few guys over there who are probably a little more familiar with your tin can and may be able to offer some sound advice. I'd say start borrowing some parts and see what works best, then buy one-Aluminum Squirt

Hey Mickey want a gum ball.

[Aluminum Squirt]

PW, I think I have one or two but I'm on my work computer so I'll have to wait until I get home. Also, I'm too damn dumb to post photos. I can email you one if you are curious or you can post it up here for me. Let me know if you are interrested and if so PM me your email-Aluminum Squirt
