Hey guys and gals, I new to the jet boating world and was just wondering if a Jetovator is really necessary or not. Does it make much of a difference if you don't have a dedicated race boat? Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks

I do not have one but I do have cav plates, mines 100% race only. I do think they are pretty though

May I ask, what do you set your nozzle angle at? Are you using thrust to air out with a fixed up nozzle angle or just the plates? Do you have both up and down in your plates?

I would go with a diverter instead of a jetovator. You could set it up/down with compressed air for fast settings. But manual its bitchn for just a fun river/lake boat.

Finding parts for an original Berkeley Jetovator might be a problem.
I recommend installing a Place diverter on any river/lake jet boat just for the ability adjust the attitude of the boat for the conditions.
The ability to roost an idiot on a Wave Runner is just a bonus ;)

I have a complete working jetovator for sale. Minus the bearing tube which is available from jet boat performance I believe. If you want one cheap PM me.

nozzle set at a little above neutral as compared with the bottom. Plates are up and down. Remember all hulls are different. A lot of time and money were spent on my bottom and the pump angle. A diverter will allow you to find the best location for the effect you want( ride, speed, handling or pretty spray)

With a big boat, a Place Diverter is key to getting a big skier out of the water, and helps around the dock. Not a 'race only' thing. Also helps with the attitude of the boat in choppy water. Lighter/smaller boats it's even more of an advantage.

Yes it does.
My personal preference is a hydraulic actuated 'Place Diverter'.
