Default Re: What's with the rooster tails?

When I had my Robalo 1820 CC it had a Merc 150, lot of power with a stainless hole shot type of prop, when gas was less than half and just two guys on it I would get a decent rooster tail under certain trim spots. My older fishing and boating friend tells me it was because the high torque prop was sitting high in the water column because the boat was planing high back on the pad at rear of hull. Just a thought for ya.
