Does anybody have any info or pictures of a rooster booster installed on a split bowl pump and maybe with a droop snoot. Im just trying to get an idea of how that thing really looks and whats the +'s and -'s of it. I know one + HAHA A Fat rooster tail. I was just wondering when you have the diverter down will it still ride the same as if you were to have like a 4* wedge?
-
actually the rooster booster is 8 degrees.
i have one with two 4 degree wedges. when its full down, its straight. when its up...well, maybe someone can post a picture (those are ok now!) ...i dont have any pics of it in action myself. but here is some pics of the setup...

i used to call them overpriced wedges until i got my hands on one. theres a lot of engineering in them. theres a nice 'snoot' machined into it that compresses and directs the water smoothly and seamlessly up into the nozzle adapter/diverter.

I have a good pic and maybe some video I'll have to look when I get home.

sweet!!! That is awesome! how well would that work with a droop? or would you even need one? Yeah there is a youtube vid with a guy that is running a rooster booster.

So how is the handling? pretty sketchy???

^^^^^ HAHAHA i was just on my way of posting the same vid^^^^ you beat me though. HAHA.

using only a rooster booster would not get you that much up angle to throw that much roost.
theres a lot of modifications that need to be done to achieve that level.
the guy's boat in the video kinda handles like crap. someone post up a video of tard's boat at speed with full roost. yeah, it doesnt have a rooster booster, but it has the same amount of up angle as that dude, but it rides MUCH better.

here is rivertard's boat at speed.....hes got so much done to his pump setup (some top secret)....but you get the idea. its got the same level of roost as the video as you posted, but rides much better.

Now that is just stupid big! HAHA i like. his set up from what you can see is just a few wedges and a diverter right? i saw that one picture you posted in "too much rooster tail?" the green pump?
