    i have my first restoration project and it is getting striped down to bear hall to go to paint, what i was wondering is i have to big cavatation plates on the back is it worth putting a ride plate on her and will it make a difference.

    I believe the cav plates help getting on a plane and low speed. The rideplate will help on mid and topend. I'd shitcan the cavplates and install a ride plate and place diverter. MHO Budlight

    it has a diverter, and the cav plates came on it in 76' and if i take them off what will it do to the handling of the boat or is it good to have them both?

    Does it have a diverter or a jetovator? Cav plates on a jet usually means a heavy boat and they were trying to make it perform better. It won't hurt the performance any I'd leave them then Budlight

    Gennerally, The jetovator Is located on the left side of the pump as you look at it from the back and don't have the up-down range of of a place diverter. A PD is controlled on the right side and is cable driven on the outside of the boat. and has a larger range of movement.

    No problem, Only stupid question is not asking. If you look up on the right side of the forum page you'll see a "search this thread." Click on it and type in a search term and it will go to related topics. Budlight
