I build all of mine out of aluminum, I guess plywood will work.

In some cases I use a mahogany rod but the it wouldnt stick to the holley. So I grabbed my fiberglass 6011 rod, worked great. Also used it to weld blinkers on the boat. ;D

Serious note. Wheres the best "trim" setting for the jetovator? As far as the rooster tail. Ive heard 2ft off the water is ideal. Does it just depend on the boat?

For me all my boats were different. As you trim the jetavator up you'll feel the boat lift and you'll gain speed. And theres always a sweet spot. I can always feel it... And it's sweeeeeet....2ft off the water is a good place to start..You'll probably get some mechanical reasons on here too...like the horse power ratio to the RPM compared to the centrifugal force of the boat hull divided by the spinning ratio of your impeller plus the length and weight of your boat....I got that off The Big Bang Theory....  my 2 cents..

Just above the waterline, like 1-3 feet range.

At 20 feet you slow down like crazy, but it looks cool as sh1t!!
