Hate is such a strong word, lol. How about "Failure to Appreciate?".

Impressive Brad. Hope I can get the Biesemeyer to toss that kinda roost!. (Need more power though).

Thanks,

ha ha looks like another wedge ended up in there too? or am i seeing things? that is gonna be a good sight!

« **Reply #33 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:45:54 PM »

what degree wedge is that?

« **Reply #34 on:** May 21, 2009, 07:45:14 PM »

theres 2 wedges in there. not sure how many degrees each is.

josh - there was always 2 wedges in there, but they were both offset to only give it a certain degree....i have them both now set straight up for max wedge angle.

i also did some grinding to get the diverter to go past factory angle. its now as far as it will go as the hydrolic ram is maxed out.

« **Reply #35 on:** May 21, 2009, 08:16:11 PM »

Yeah I noticed the reverse bucket chinga dera was looking kinda "meshed too" the tiller arm! Anyway have a good weekend I'm jealous...

« **Reply #36 on:** May 21, 2009, 09:45:35 PM »

Dude I didnt think you were going that big! Thats sweet! The rangers should take a fond liking to you this weekend!

« **Reply #37 on:** May 21, 2009, 10:15:40 PM »

after this weekend im going to take it apart and clean it up...paint it.

i would eventually like to get one of those mini droops from place to get a little extra pin angle out of it without wedging the hell out of it.

from the words of rivertard....

i can never ever be the fastest guy out on the water, but ill be damned if i get out roosted.

...and that my friend is neater then socks on a rooster

damn, i cant wait till fathers day to hang out with that old turd.

Any pics or info on what you did to the diverter? Willing to share the secrets?

This is mine from yesterday. Place diverter, 4 degree wedge, place HPH.

Not the best pic

« **Reply #39 on:** May 24, 2009, 09:48:53 PM »

Yes that's the boat,

I need a great looking windshield. How far back is the windshield from the step in the hull.

Thanks for your help.

Since this turned into a rooster pic fest, heres mine.

After almost hitting a rock and slamming into the tullies, because of lack of steering; the steering extension and droop are on order.

im going to dismantle the pump this weekend to clean up some of the grinding i did and give it a paint job. ill post some more detailed pics of where i ground away. its not that difficult to figure out. move your diverter to the up position and look at whats stopping it from going higher...and start grinding.

Getting ready to do this to mine, how many degrees of up would you say he got

Looks like quite a bit. Any input guys

Before you go out and waste a bunch of money on wedges, there were countless cases of beer killed in the making of that set-up.
By just adding wedges you will in all likelyhood kill the handling you are used to.
The entire boat was set-up to run lottsa roost.
From the bottom to the intake to the loaders, bowl work, impellor detailing, all of it.
It was not just a "lets add some wedges!" type of deal.
You really have to see the boat run.
It's like magic.

Wedge away though, by all means
