    I have the droop on now and will be trying the snoot this week. Trying to stop the boat from ejecting every body out. Will let you know the diffrence.

    From my understanding, the droop does 3 things.
    Lowers the thrust line which means the pump pushes closer to the bottom of the hull to reduce pushing the nose down,
    Lengthens the "moment arm" of the pump to give the nozzle more leverage to move the nose arround (but less than a straight snoot does),
    this effect lifts the rear of the boat without pushing the nose down.
    The snoot just does #2, giving the pump more leverage.
    From what I have seen (and I have not run either on my Berk F pump, stock) some hulls like a droop, some do not, sounds like yours is the latter. The snoot should definitely change the behavior. Good luck

    Claims be damned! Try it before you buy it, borrow one first. Diffrent hulls, setups, amount of Horsepower, which mold the boat came from all matter. Because it worked on a seemingly same deal doesn't mean squat. Because of this there are a lot of these around to try. When you change somthing, you really need to go over the entire process of setup again. Do everything that you are going to do horsepower wise first, or you will have to do it all again later. Shoe and loader requirements change with the boats new attitude with either snoot deal. TIMINATOR
