We have dealt with this type of boat and problem a lot. What works best for us is the SNOOT with an add on ride plate and shoe kit. On a heavy boat like that, I would suggest the Longer Snoot with the 4 degree up pin axis on the steering nozzle. This set up will not drag in the water like the droop does. But lets be reasonable, these things will help some, but they won't do wonders for a 2900 lb boat with only 330 hp. If you add a couple of hundred HP, then these parts will really help control the added HP in a manner that you would be happy with. Duane HTP
