Thread: stupid question

    I'm wondering how stern drive boats are able to throw a rooster tail. The poker run had quite a few boats, obviously with big power, throwing huge tails. Is it the drive itself, or having big horsepower?

    Its the trim being pushing to the edge.

    I can throw a pretty decent rooster with my twin 496's on the E-ticket. The drives are already pretty high so it really doesn't take that much. If I trim to 4 or 5 on the guage it throws it. 3 is about neutral.

    Remove the lid from your blender the next time you make a Margarita and all your questions should be answered. :rollside:

    Surfacing drives such as #6's will throw a big roost. This is what you were seeing at the poker run.

    Depends on the boat, the x-dimension and the drive more than anything though.

    Matt,
    I saw you running past black meadows on saturday and it looked great. Do you have extension boxes?
