Are you going to be out on the water this weekend? I'm trying to decide where to go tomorrow, because Sunday will be at Lake Hogan.

This is my FISHING boat - a Gator Jet. It causes quite a commotion during tournament blast-offs. Gave a competitor a free "facial enema" the other day trying to pass me! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/images/Roostertail.jpg

[roostwear]

I've been waiting for this to come up! I'm considering co-sponsoring a river event next season with one event being who has the biggest and baddest roost! Any suggestions for a location and date?

THESE PICS WERE TAKEN IN MAY AT THE 4TH ANNUAL MOUSEFEST IN DEL RIO,TX. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN THE BOAT THREE TIMES. THE PHOTOGRAPHER CAME UP AND SAID I WAS THE MAN OF THE HOUR.SO I BACKED UP IN THIS COVE AND LET IT EAT.

All I have to say is g#t damn.Whoever owns this boat has some serious rooster. Now thats what I call knocking planes out of the air! I sure would like to know what he is running for wedge. Thats the kind of rooster I am looking for. :D :D :D :D :D

I'm gonna go left a little here in this thread. By all means...keep posting the roosters!
W/ the V drive positioning thread in the v drive forum just made me think about the propulsion of the jet w/ a rooster tail.
Why is it that w/ the rooster tail (water from jet) so high up that the boat continues to move the boat forward still at a high rate of speed even though the water from the jet is so dispersed that by the time it enters back into the lake and is no longer a stream? Is it just the momentum/thrust of the water coming from the nozzle that moves the boat forward. It seems like it is only pushing air (not pushing into the water/lake).
Just a thought provoking question. :D

[woodster]

hey froggy are u running a droop on your boat?

woodster:
hey froggy are u running a droop on your boat?Yes, I am running a Place droop and diverter with a pretty good amount of power.

Mike, the force isn't from water pushing on air. It comes from the acceleration of water mass out the business end. All that f=ma boring physics and numbers crap. Even if jet boating a vacuum on the moon, still the same thrust...more like a rocket, as I posted in hp vs Q?
So once the water leaves the nozzle, the boat no longer cares what happens to it. It can fall to the lake, evaporate into a freakin' rain cloud, or circle the moon eternally for all it cares. Long done with it and of no further use. Cast aside like an old shoe. (flashbacks of my x speaking here) As for the angle, yep, anything other than the direction you're moving, you loose thrust. No big mystery. However, some forward thrust traded for hull lift (less water friction) can also give more speed...a trade-off
If not that, then at least some cool a** pics :)
Here's a picture from my last trip to the moon compliments of NASA and the Howard Hughes Corporation:

Can you imagine roosting the moon?

Jer, I been messin w/ the photoshop program a little bit too lately cause all the funny pic's on the board.
With the weight of your boat being approx 300#s on the moon, and if there was water to be thrown from the jet, what kind of speed could be obtained (not sure if the tunnel would work on the moon wink )? Do you think the speed would be the same seeing how the water would only weigh about .6#s? :rolleyes:

[lakesmodified]

This is the BEST Rooster out there!!!!!! No one can compare with my rooster :D :D :D :D http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Forum_Graphic_Depot/myRooster.JPG

[DansBlown73Nordic]

Lakes you win!!!!!! :D lmao

[LVjetboy]

Mike,
I'm thinking thrust nearly the same as it depends on water mass not weight. But those NASA supplied air bottles feeding the engine pretty heavy. Likely more than offset by hull "moon" weight as you mentioned. All in all, my speed was WAY higher, at least 7200 rpm! Imagine that? Made it across Serendipity in no time. Not sure how fast I was going? (my gps wouldn't lock) but felt really good...
So I'm sure, really really fast no doubt
And moondust's a bitch on pump's. At least it wasn't a prop, that'd REALLY suck. Maybe next time I'll use another gear or two. Oh ya and BTW, that boat's for sale :)

Now those are real impressive and all; BUT, where's the pic of the rooster that FuF took on a bright, sunny Sunday afternoon at Parker? Ya know which one I'm referrin' to!
eek! wink :p :D

[Hustler]

Sorry gig but I think she was laughing to hard to snap that one :D :D :p

[JetBoatRich]

You guys didn't snap any last Sunday? You could have cleared the lake.

[gigamurph]

Hustler:
Sorry gig but I think she was laughing to hard to snap that one :D :D :p Oh man; I am so disappointed that she missed that Kodak moment! I would like to have gotten a copy and had it blown up to life-size! I bet that was funnier than h**l with CC divin' for cover, me standin' there with that "bring it on" grin on my face, Kathy with the "what's he doin'?" look on her face, 75_Elim and Supergirl duckin' in the front (actually I think they were already "undercover"), RQT slippin' into the "stabbin' cabin", and Radex yellin', "Dammit! He got my boat wet!"
eek! :p :D

[Hustler]

JetBoatRich:

Gig to be perfectly honest with I really did not mean to soak the whole boat, I only wanted to hit CC since he was standing there waving his arms to me like "bring it on" so I did :p

[gigamurph]

Yeah right! Don't bulls**t a bullsh**ter! Ya know, I only have one thing to say about tonight. "Hustler; this is a pretty cheesy Instant Messenger that we have goin' on here!" wink

The essence of your "original" thread? Just wondering, here's another shot for ya...

Time out from a perfect day on the lake to capture the emotion of running a jet into a lake sunset. A real "kodak" moment so to speak. Whatd'ya think 396??

I like all of those roosters! I had to post this thread since I am infactuated with rooster tails :D . Big ups to everyone who posted a pic.
LVJetboy, I think your rooster pic is one of my first pics I saved on my computer. I have to agree that is a very nice photo. Dont get me wrong I love huge rooster pics but your pic is like art with that sunset behind you. Big big ups to your pic bro.
Keep em' comming guys. I am going to let my brother scan my rooster pic so I can post it since I can scan.

I love all the rooster shots too...even a farm animal or two :) If I had to pick I'd say Froggy's is most impressive, just by width and fill-in, but that one Kindsvater posted shooting into the sun...wow!

:D There is no way that he was laughing, if he was he was lying. I have done that ONCE when I was pretty messed up, and let me tell you no amount of booze would have dampened the pain of those golf balls comming at you around 60mph. I thought it would be fun. Nope, turned my eyelids upside down. Cool video though.
