Why do you need a rooster tail? what is your boat, engine, prop type?

Hadn't seen one of those in years. 3/8" soft copper tubing. Run part of it on bottom of boat and bend the other end up the transom.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Hey, its a 16 foot wooden boat with a flat bottom, 25 hp yamaha 2 stroke. Mainly I want a roostertail for the fun of it, no real good reason.

They used to make attachments for skis that would throw up a column of water. Don't know if they still do.
