I want a Rooster Tail
 

I have a Top Gun Cigarette and I want a rooster tail???

Can Anyone tell me how to do this with TRS drives??

Any devices? Hook ups? Modifications???

Please Help!

I want one for my 292 also was thinking about running some PVC pipe from the pad up through the swim platform:evilb:
Seriously though most rooster tails are staggered engine boats

Trim it to you hear the U-Joints howl:party-smiley-004:

Oh thats not nice:evilb:

Buy that pair of JC mills in the classifieds

Buy a yamaha waverunner and enjoy the pee hole on the back. Thats about as good as a jerry rigged roost can be.

DONT PUT A PVC PIPE ON YOUR BOAT!

It was a Joke

I know.....but some people really do need to be told. There is a video on youtube of some guy in a ski boat trimmed way up....."enjoying his roost." Caption says he went through a u-joint that day.

u can't "make a rooster tail" unless u want a quasi-til and eat up some u-joints. Get a staggered boat, a jet boat or a 6 boat. Until then, wait patiently young man ;)

fireboat pump with nozzle on transom....... or bail on the trs's and do an arneson conversion..

Have TD build you some shortened Alpha's.:rolleyes:

awesome

Want a Rooster? get a Cat!

Arneson cat for a bonafide rooster...

If u whant a roostertail ,u need to shoot a rooster and cut the tail of . LOL:grinser010:

i can sell u some #4's with nice clever or merc props and it will make a hell of a rooster.

then u need a pair of 572's which i am happy to sell u also around 700 HP and the damn thing will move also.


SIRIUS , send me PM for package price + i can rigg it for u at extra charge and dial it in.:ernaehrung004:

Exactly V-bottom rooster tails are lame.

Roosters are bad azz!:drink:

This is the biggest rooster I've ever seen wait untill about 1:41 of the video and you'll see what I mean.

you can also try extention boxes

How about a speed increase (substantial) and a rooster tail as a side effect?

arneson or #6 drives, big herring props, or you could buy a cat.

I was just going to post the shortened version of that.....starts at 1:41. Not only is the roost of that boat (RIP) unreal, but the sound as it goes by would make your heart skip.

Saw a Fountain at Lake Cumberland Poker Run that had what appeared to be stainless "tubes" mounted through the lower units of his outdrives. I only guessed it was for Rooster Tail effect. Can't remember if it was staggered or what drives, but it was the best looking red, black, and silver Fountain I've seen!

It's Easy!
 

MORE HORSEPOWER & MORE SPEED:drink:

I think that the opinions so far are correct. Go to surface drives, use #3, 5 or 6 drives or stagger the engines. Here is the tail from our 39 Top Gun. It throws this tail regardless of trim. Not bad for Bravos!

Thats pretty impressive for bravos.

You could try the shortened Konrads. Would raise your prop shaft height by about 3.5" if I remember correctly

My guess is those would have been airation tubes to break the props loose for planing, not shootin roosters.

PS, I find a simple little 22cal sufficient for shootin most roosters :)

My Donzi Comp.

Standard Bravos staggered turning in.

Did someone say rooster?

Heck and this is just at no wake speeds :p:p:food-smiley-007:

That was weak Kenny. :rolleyes:

Yeah I know. I need those mounted cameras. Hmmm winter project? No one can hold a camera straight.

Phil did some modifications for a customer on a new 38 Topgun to give the rooster tail effect. There were some tubes in the drives from what I could see.

Vent tubes to air the props. I just cannot see libship rigging a homemade tube to shoot water. He would just sell the guy a new boat with #6's or staggards.

38 zr with xr drives and 525's

Some people have a certain budget. The guy who ordered the pink 38 Mr Cigarette wanted everybody to think he had a 39 staggered Gun. Phil, being a custom shop, rigged it to rooster tail amongst a few other things to give the effect of a 39.
