Ok I understand that. And that's big money right there. So just putting extention boxes on won't raise your x???? And correct me if I'm wrong here but are the different lowers raised?? So the prop is closer to the top of the water???

Big rooster tails happen with surface drives like the NXT's, SSM 6's are Arenesons. Rinning Bravo's like surface drives will break off a lot of prop blades.

What's that hose I've seen sitting behind the out drives aiming straight into the air?

is there a tell tale sign that the trim is too high? with some props they stay hooked up with quite a bit of trim

In addition to the correct answers / advice that has been offered here, let me add my 2 cents. If you have a "normal" (non-high performance) boat and you want to throw a big rooster tail, all you're going to do is tear up parts. That's because in order to throw one with a normal X dimension, prop and power, you're going to have to over trim your drive. That will beat the hell out of your U-joints. Besides, all of us who legitimately throw a good sized rooster because of a correct high performance setup are going to mock the hell out of you for showing off as you destroy your out drive.

Three #6 boats, both Fountains trimmed all the way in to throw these tails at around 60 mph. |
Buy some turn down tips, install them upside down. Full time "rooster tail" :lolhit:
