Mini droops are a real thing.
Go to Place.

That Place Diverter HPH is a really nice part!

Does a droop snoot make a real big difference ? I'm thinking about getting one

Depend on the hull.
Some hulls react well while others don't.

how do you know what ones do and don't ? Trial and error?

So I'm still searching for a droop/diverter kit. That hph looks sweet but does that include a diverter? Doesn't appear that way

All parts can be ordered independently or as a kit. Place will hook you up with everything you need. Good people.

I really like the transition between the bowl and nozzle that the HPH provides. It is very heavy duty with excellent workmanship.
If you would like a full-droop, the American Turbine, IMO, is the nicest full-droop currently available. You would still need a diverter.

FYI, the same Place Diverter will fit on either of these droops. Depending on your steering tube, you probably can adjust your steering cable/tube for the HPH, but you will probably need a steering extension for the full-droop.
Which one do you choose? Hulls that inherently develop a lot of hydro-dynamic lift may be overwhelmed by the additional lift of a full-droop, developing high-speed handling issues. It would be good if you could find a bro that would let you borrow a setup so you could test the parts before you actually purchase. When you do your testing, you will want to make a complete run to make sure that you don’t have any handling issues anywhere in the run. Remember, garbage in - garbage out. You will want some way to verify that your boat is ACTUALLY running faster rather than IT JUST FEELS FASTER.
