If you are running in the first notch down from the top for best speed, you need about 2 degrees more wedge between the bowl and the Snoot. This will cause the water to bend the amount that you need at a larger diameter which saves a lot of drag. Then your boat should run it's fastest with the diverter straight out or 1 notch up. Try It and post the results.
Bend the amount that you need at a larger diameter. That makes alot of sense, 6 degrees total. When I talked to you about the snoot last winter I did tell you I was going to add more power and wanted to set it up that way. I'll save this thread and post when it gets a little warmer. Thanks for all of your help on this Duane.
