Post Whale Tail....
Ive seen two or three GTs on here with whale tails. Can anyone explain how this helps the motor run better???

It has nothing to do with performance.Correct me if i am wrong.It helps keep the water and such from going into the boat while using reverse.Just directs the water down.I thought it was a good idea and it looks fast.

I asked him about it. He told me its something they are trying to help shoot water under the boat to help it in reverse.

I was also told it helps not to shoot water n reverse and that it made the reverse alot stronger

lol!!!! i was just kidding. :)
i saw my old bayboat and it now has a whale-tail on it. i asked the guy what it did for the boat and he claims it gets on step faster and holds plane at slower speeds. i always thought it was a gimmick, but apparently it works.

I used a WhaleTail one time on a Fish/Ski when I was pullin' the kiddo's skiin' and kneeboardin' ...... It dang shore will enable fo the boathull to run flat and stay that way at a much slower speed. I also was runnin' a four blade prop.

Just thot I would tho a 2 cent info on what I knows 'bout a whaletail !!! :D

I saw a similar design in action a few months back and it really did help the reverse. The one I saw didn't do anything for it in forward cause it was out of the water when going forward but I am sure they have changed the design up a bit from that one.
