I tried the droop the short snoot and the long snoot on my 20' Placecraft. The long snoot had the fastest MPH. The droop made the boat feel lighter but was not quite as fast by about 2 MPH. I dont have any steering problems. It was a little tighter at first but it loosened up after a couple of runs.
Here are a couple of pics.

I would let you borrow it but the boat is for sale.
