Rooster tail
 
What makes one? Just power? Or a combination of x, hp, prop style and blade count....

Think it's a combo but you have to have prop high enough or it won't do it. Ton of power with a deep prop I don't think will rooster.

Raised "X" or shorty lower with a little positive trim, outboard jacked up with a hydraulic jack plate, and the king of roosters, the jet drive. here's mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSUWplf6m6A

The more of the prop breaking the surface, the bigger the rooster tail.can't wait to run my #4s next season.

Now, here is a set of rooster tails! Thats 900 HP per side and 100-120 MPH at 6250 foot elevation (Lake Tahoe. Actually, I needed to lower the drives some because that would give me more speed.
