Droop Snoot

Lookin for an extra long droop snoot, anyone have one they want to sell or an idea where to find one.

Haven't seen one of those for a long time, you might consider a std droop with a 2 or 3 inch spacer. These parts are readily availability, not sure what you are trying to do.

He's trying to make sure he can stay in front of me when I get my v-drive ready. Haha,I think it'll be a while before he has to worry that!!!

The Berkley part number he's looking for is H2646.

The regular snoot with spacers that you're talking about, will it be the same as the H2646? I guess what I mean is if you put a H2646 side by side with a regular snoot and spacer bolted together on the bench will they have the same silhouette? I'm not if I'm making any sense... Let me know....

Hope u like jet spray max! haha good question, is it possible to imitate the the long snoot using spacers, would i have to use a wedge how would i get the same amount of drop or close to.

Just don't sink my boat with the place diverter!!

Why the long droop?

I am runnin a 79 sanger super jet, was told by an old timer that in his experience with his super jet the long snoot seemed to work best. I currently have no droop snoot just a diverter, ford 550 stroker and a berk jg pump, it gpsd at 80. lookin to pick up some speed. Also lookin into a new loader, longer ride plate when i decide on the snoot. Have any experience or suggestions.

I just finished 2 Sanger super jets that are running over 90 mph and have a standard droop with a Place Diverter. I see no reason to run the extra long droop because we have had no problem getting the boat to run free and loose! These boats were all standard layup probably 600 to 700 lbs.

Did u run a standard berk droop or another whats the drop any nozzle diameter changes. I have heard alot of back and forth about the vertical vs the horizontal vein in a droop, even a few guys cutting it out completely. Do u recomend one over the other, does it make a difference, if so how/ why. Thanks

Back in the days Berkeley ran a horizontal divider that we would modify. Did we see a difference ,NO. Then I beleive Dominator came out with a vertical divider, Did we see a difference,NO. Now all of the droops that are available the divider has been eliminated. I was told by some of the engineers at Berkeley that the divider was there was to straighten the water. With todays data systems it would be a good test to evaluate the the 3 styles of droops but at this time I know of no one who has tested or plans to test these droops. Best starting nozzle size to start with would be a 3.125 and work from there.

Depending on the power. If you have big power the Place hp droop would be my first choice if the power is moderate power the std droop would be my choice. The lower the thrust line the more lift you will generate. Less boat in the water and still maintain a good load to the pump the faster you will go!

how can I tell if my sanger super jet is a full stringer hull. It has a full floor. Were most super jets.
