roooster tails
 

So I have this "friend" and he asked me even though tails are not that great to do .. He was wondering how one would do it with out wrecking the drive..

Ill let him no of any replies..
He has a single drive..I think he thinks the correct way is to find a good speed... lift drive up but not letting the prop raise up out of the water or the cooling holes int he drive coming up near the surface..

" he " says they look so cool...

Tell your friend to get a jetboat if he's into roostertails .
He could trim up the place diverter nozzle as high as he
wants without wrecking anything .

those come from having a high X dimension. you cant really fake that without stressing the heck out'a the gimbal bearing and drive shaft.

Tell him to buy a surface drive boat, so as not to tear up the ujoints.

Damn nice roost ya got there, Cuda...:cool-smiley-011:

God i can't wait to get mine back together so i can can throw some water:D

Best pic I got..... so far!:ernaehrung004:

Ditto what cuda says. A true surface drive is the best way to get you there. You'll just tear up a standard bravo. :cool:

Thanks, Tom- that made my night!

That shot was pure luck- look at the water... we were goin about 60 through there. :boat:

I'm looking hard at a Formula 400ss with Diesels . And I can't stop thinking how cool that boat would be with surface drives.
I gain a lot of creature comforts loose some speed but the rooster tails sure would look cool .

Great PIC's!!

But are they copyrighted, or under contract by somebody??:rolleyes::rolleyes:

THANK YOU for sharing them!! Regardless of the consequences...:D

I'm gonna hafta consult with my legal team before I can answer that. :cool-smiley-011:

Bernie,
You always get good tail!
:ernaehrung004:

Black Hawk seems to do the trick :)

I see way too many folks with Bravos that are trying to be 'cool' and trim their boat to the moon for a rooster tail. There was someone doing it on a Poker Run last year in a 22' boat w/ a Bravo, and the boat was WAY out of control, and no one would go near him.

Not only are you going to break your U-joints, but you are going to find a little wave to launch off of at the perfect wrong time, and the boat is going to get way out of control and hurt someone, or worse.

Not advised.

If you want to throw some water around, drop your trim tabs all the way down.

Get #6's.....

Hope this helps. Always glad to contribute! :D:D

Here's pic of the Mystic SL70 rooster tail.

Surfacing a bravo will break it with time. Number sixes and a little hp will get you this.

That is a badass shot Brad!

Here's BZs 42 Fountain....with XRs...

Turbines may give ya one too.

:cool: Dont try this at home!

Here's ours. Not very good pics but there the only ones I have on this computer. Stagger Bravo xr sportys do the trick as well.

Deee du deeee!!! Reeeeeee tawded!!!!!!!!
What is the point of "looking cool" at the cost of breaking chit?! but hey... to each his own! :ernaehrung004:

Cuda has surface drives on his boat.:D

Arneson's do the trick very well!

Hey dumbazz, get a clue before you start calling people retarded. Maybe you'd like to come show me how to run a surface drive boat without shooting a roostertail.:rolleyes:

:

:Whatever:

haha... here we go..... :nhl_fight:
I wasn't calling you retarded cry baby... just the idea of rooster tails in general. I'm not impressed.
And that is my opinion, thus stated on a public forum.

Now you're calling me a cry baby? Fck you. You should go back to your POS Mach 1 bowrider. That would be more in line with something you should be familiar with.

Rik that would make a cool poster:D

See... now you hurt my feelings!! The name calling is really taking it to the level you belong...

HAHAHA!!!! No thanks... it sold already. darn it. Wish I would have thought about that!!

I dont know whats funnier.... 15k hanging off the back of a 5k boat.... or your rebuttal skills. Take care!! :ernaehrung004: No point in slopping up the forum with this crap. if you have any more to say... feel free to PM me!

That hustler sounds so sick.

Heres a rooster tail

:rolleyes::D

Strip wins. :)
