I've done quite a few poker runs with my older jet-boat. However, now I have a new one and the problem is that to keep up with the big boys, I have to trim the diverter quite a ways up. This means my rooster tail is significantly bigger than before.
I used to just hang out in the back because my older boat was slow. However, now I can maintain a 60-70mph constant speed without pushing the engine hard. This translates to a 100yard rooster.
I run the poker runs exclusively on the Delta in Norther Cali so the rivers/sloughs can be narrow at times and people will be forced to be in line behind one another.
I guess I could stay at the back of the pack, but that is the worst water, and I can probably keep up with the top 25% of the boats that go on these events. What do you think about the rooster-tail problem? I certainly don't want to hit anyone with it.
