My friend Brandon and I put my diverter on a few weeks ago on my 12JC on my Hallet. I haven't had it on the water yet but can't wait. On a "c" bowl you can't run a droop so we grinded a little off the top arm so the diverter can't ratchet up higher. we did it so the lower seal will not be affected. I finally got a tail and will post pics once I put the boat in the water. Lots in store for this season. Freshened up trailer, new diverter, custom false floor with brand new carpet. i can't wait to get it wet. Hoping the tail goes 25-30 feet.

HotHallet,
Let me know how it turns out. I have an old 77 model Place diverter (electric trim adjust) on the 77 Hallett. I am getting full up travel but the roost will only go about 3ft above the water surface. I talked to Tim @ Place. Evidently the old models didn't have the same amount of up-down travel as the new ones. I am thinking about going to the new model with hydraulics. Concerned about price versus will a new one give me what I am looking for. Anyone else have input on this. Thanks

Congrats on the Diverter Travis! Not only are you going to love that rooster tail, you're going to be real happy when you can trim the ride when it gets a little choppy... I like to point mine all the way down, then nail it from a dead stop! The bow never rises! She just sets you back in the seat and leaps onto the top of the water!

Try it out when you take it out the first time.
