place diverter or jetovator its called..........might change the attitude of a seadoo too much and make it unsafe...kinda short for it.
A well placed peice of PVC on the stock nozzle would do the trick ;)

My boat is one of those that will do 55 and throw a pretty mean rooster tail, before last season I added a Droop Snoot which is set between the Bowl and the Place Diverter, it drops the Diverter lower in the water to help the boat obtain more lift which in turn helps increase the speed and handling of the boat. I personally have never heard or seen a place diverter of any type on the type of JetBoat that you have, like others have mentioned it would probably not do favorable things to the way that the boat handles.

Anyhow, this site is full of people that rib one another, don't take it personally, we're all here to have a good time and tease each other.  ;)

Here are some pics of my boat, one pic with the diverter up before the droop and the other with the diverter up and a droop, the roost is a good 6' higher and at least 40' longer then before... :good
Old Roost...

New Roost since adding a Droop...

RIVER! If you have to ask you wont understand...

:say?



See the black things on the back of this Speedster they have to point farther up to get a roost. But they have to be able to be brought back to a normal position for normal boating. Roost are for show not go. Which speedster do you have? From what research I did I see only trim tabs available for Seadoo's. Nothing for modifiing the jet like on a regular jet boat.

The flaming comes from having a Seadoo(which reminds us all of
Spoiler (Highlight to Read):
Lake Lice
) even though it is sort of a boat :stupid  which produces :angry towards all the idiots that have no idea what there doing on the water or ramps with their PWC's. :pissed  

Although we do have a few guys on here that have or have had these so called boats, and all are welcome of course.  :bebe  :D
