rooster tail? how???
 
call me crazy, but how does it work on single screw boats? i can get a small one rolloin, but im trimmed up way to much and have to be wide open. is there any way to do it?

I has to do with drive height, drive type and type of prop.

I heard that some of the inboard sailboats throw a quasi-tail

You could always bolt a piece of L shaped pipe to the bottom of the skeg. :cool:

I got sick of mine. Finally had a larger swim step built to tame it down some. Now I can see behind me.

A 2,500 HP turbine and Arneson does it really well.

I can throw up a huge roostertail. But you loose speed, kind of like doing a burnout. Looks cool but less speed.

Kinda like bolting on under glows and a fart can muffler no?

If the boat throws a tail by design, good. If not, bad.
