Rooster tails aren't necessarily good. I could be wrong, but throwing a rooster tails is essentially a loss of torque. I agree with these guys though. Get a shorty, increasing your x dimension and it will raise the prop of the water. Increase the pitch for reduced water tension and you gots yourself a rooster tail.

O yea? Thanks for the great boat!
It use to throw a pretty good one till i saw my buddies #6 do it.
I upgraded to SCX and they come with a cavitation plate that seems to reduce it now for some reason....or maybe its the Herings...or maybe its just me!

You know what they say, double the price and then take half off.
