I was thinking about putting a Jetovator or Place Diverter. How much speed will I pick up? I have a 1980 Rochelle closed Bow. 454 12JC A impellor does 50mph now. Will I pick up any speed or just shoot a Rooster

How much speed do you think a place diverter will bring me?
If your boat is setup right you should not gain any mph. What they are good for is basicaly adjusting the trim for different water conditions, pulling skiers ect. and of course doing the huge rooster tail.:) I really like the hydraulic setup, you can trim the boat out in very small increments with the touch of a button on your steering wheel.

Jet-o-vater and Place Diverter seem to be simlutaneous these days. They are very different animals, though. The original Jet-o-vater, a Berkeley product probably no longer made, does its business before steering where the Place unit does it after. Good/bad/indifferent.

Personally, all my running boats have PD units. I have two Electric Jet-O-Vaters for sale if interested! (From a new project. Long story, but it's going Hydraulic PD's for simplicity's sake. Complicated enough as it is!).

x6!!! Tom's is a great guy and will take good care of you and your needs.

I also have a JC-A pump
I got my Place divertor from him last summer and just got a dominator bowl and droop from him this week.

Sounds like a Standard Model: Used on Berkeley 12-JA/B/C/G models, is what your looking for
