Me to Rik, or how about buy one, get one FREE. I might be able to afford that. I want Arneson surface drives on my flat bottom Cigarette. Time for you to post that picture of that rooster!

Rooster tails aren't necessarily good. I could be wrong, but throwing a rooster tails is essentially a loss of torque. I agree with these guys though. Get a shorty, increasing your x dimension and it will raise the prop of the water. Increase the pitch for reduced water tension and you gots yourself a rooster tail.

O yea? Thanks for the great boat!
It use to throw a pretty good one till i saw my buddies #6 do it.
I upgraded to SCX and they come with a cavitation plate that seems to reduce it now for some reason....or maybe its the Herings...or maybe its just me!

If you're on FB you have to look at pics I have posted of blow up dolls strapped into the back seats of your boat during the KW poker run

Here's a Cigarette fix you.

You know what they say, double the price and then take half off.
