just bought a 74 cheetah 455 olds motor has berkely pump .. had a question how does rooster tail help ? how do i install what parts are needed ? im going to havasu in a month and want to avoid as many problems as i can thanks

[1969MustangMACH1]

@MrLOSangelesBITCH it directs the water up. its called a diverter. they say it helps with fuel economy and makes it handle a little better. look into it on google and whip out your wallet, then have fun

How Many MPH this thing crank

[1969MustangMACH1]

65-70. Pretty good for a stock impeller and intake grate.

i have a jetster with a 460 ford too, it is bored 60 over with solid lifter cam, roller rockers, polished and ported heads, edelbrock victor 460 intake, holley 850 double pumper, gil headers.. we also used to take it down to billy chinook, but now we go to banks lake WA. and around Mayfield lake WA. they are fun boats.

[1969MustangMACH1]

hey sounds like an awesome set up! Banks lake is good for these boats...nice wide and open

[mrteyssere]

hehe :p well, even a kid can see that this boat is way faster than 45 knots.. =)

Now thats a roster tail

[rusyn41]

@shawnco00 Add in that 1200 rpm's and I bet your boat really tops out at about 65- 68 mph. Sorry doesn't stay consistant like gearing to rpm to mph like a car.

[averagep8ntballa]

thats nothing my old jet boat had a 150ft rooster tail

[Oldsmob455]

@MrLOSangelesBITCH A diverter is more show than anything. I find my boat gets the best performance when the nozzle is pointed level out the back. I'm running a hydraulic place diverter, glad I invested the money in it versus a cable operated one. They sure do make a good show and you can hose people down.

[jaratt85]

why oh why does that look like englebright?

[450God]

imagine if it had a BBC in it holy crap!



[aerodicus]

70 is no problem on one of those, my old neighbor had a blown one that topped out around 95 mph on smooth water.

[shawnco00]

@casepker ..... God youre a blithering IDIOT. My 18' borum cheetah 460cid CRUISES AT 55-60 MPH at 3,800RPM. MAX RPM of my engine is 5,000.... LETS DO THE MATH SHALL WE? I HAVE ANOTHER 1,200RPMS TO GO WHEN IM ALREADY GOING 60 MPH!!! Now......when i get the boat on calm water and open it up, Guess what my GPS reads!!!!.......... 92MPH ill run CIRCLES around youre sorry ass BASS BOAT all damn day long. Oh i almost forgot to mention ENJOY MY 300+ FOOT ROOSTER TAIL.

[bengarris]
