Hey guys. I'm running a 1978 Marlin 18' jet boat with an Olds 455 and a Berk 12JC-A pump.
This boat is getting a complete overhaul and I am in the process of overhauling the pump and motor.
I'm wanting to install a Place Diverter, for the sole purpose of kicking up a rooster tail for show(gotta love rooster tails).
My question is...
In an 18' boat with an empty bow(bow used for storage, no fuel tank in the bow), will this change the handling characteristics drastically? I'm wanting to make sure that when I kick up the tail that the bow of the boat doesn't come up off the water on me.
