    After installing the droop snoot I really didn't see much for speed gains but she sure helps the place diverter throw a HUGE rooster tail.
    Enjoy the pics.
    Pic #5 is by far my favorite of the bunch.

    Nice.
    Dammit now I can't wait to get my boat back together with the new Place Diverter. I'm just dying to pop a wheelie in that thing.

    Just so you understand......The bigger roost is due to the fact that the droop has somewhere in the area of 7 degrees of "up" pin angle in it compared with a stock nozzle adapter's 0 degrees of steering pin angle.
    Hopefully you aren't expecting a speed increase with the diverter all the way up. Max roost like that generally slows the boat down a fair bit. Do some experimenting and you should find max speed with about a 3-4 foot high tail.

    I realize with the diverter up like that the boat will slow down. I only made a few passes for some nice pics and video because it was damn cold running. I will play with it more in the spring and see what it does.
    I am also running a 4 degree wedge along with the droop snoot.
