Does anyone know if theres somewhere i could buy a droop or mini droop with a place diverter kit like all one package? And would i need a ride plate for a droop or mini droop? And is a mini droop a real thing haha. A buddy mentioned it but ive never seen one. All tips would be sweeet!

Mini droops are a real thing.
Go to Place.

Not the "HPH"....
I want to say Berkley made a small droop.

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.
