    I'd have to agree with Spectrabrent with a little clarification. I used to have a jetovator and made the switch to Place Diverter for one simple reason.....................I wanted to use a droop snoot and you can't use a droop with the jetovator. If all you want to do is trim your boat for conditions, pulling skiers, holeshots if you're racing and shoot roosters, the jetovator works great. You just can't utilize a droop with it.

    The droop snoot would probably be a try n see thing, especially on your boat. Your hull is so rare, you can't just ask if someone else has used one and how it worked for em. I think, if I were in your shoes, I'd at least like to leave it open as an option (use the Place Diverter rather than jetovator).
    I run the manual handle on my boat and like it fine. I've seen the hydraulic units fail due to cracks in the plastic fluid reservoir and plastic control lines that have broken and I want no part of that. Sure it's a little more work, but I can use the exercise and there's no guess work on any adjustments I make on the handle. If I move it up or down a notch, I know where it's gonna be. With hydraulics it can be kinda difficult to tell without additional hardware, or a look over your shoulder.

    Promod I do squeak when I walk if you did not know me you'd swear I had a pack of mice in my pants.
    O and I did not go out of town so Ill call tommorow and I might come see the alchohol injected toy. Later dude.
    Thanks squirtcha? I will invest in the manual type see how the boat runs and decide from there I guess on the droop. Cant wait to get some progress done on it I'll keep posting some pics
