i like it....what i really liked seeing is the rub-rail is in the boat....that stainless can get pretty costly

honda1 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 13, 2009, 01:13:00 PM »

Nordie its going back on and i have the rubber for it just got it home last night so with the rain havent be able to do anything

Nordie · « **Reply #9 on:** December 13, 2009, 01:59:40 PM »

yeah i noticed it was there and was happy for you that it was....if your planning on repaint maybe a cap job would be cool....definately some good hsrdware and decent rigging way cool project always liked howards....what motor is that rail kit set-up for?

honda1 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 13, 2009, 02:20:19 PM »

455 olds i have one in the garage going to sell parts from my other project and finish the motor

Nordie · « **Reply #11 on:** December 13, 2009, 03:03:43 PM »

just a stupid qiestion why the olds?

honda1 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 13, 2009, 03:48:01 PM »

The set up was for the olds on both my boats when i got the motor it had every thing but a cam and motor was and looks to be pretty fresh bearings and all heads have double springs dizzy is a malory and bassit oths so really its a coin issus a bbc with all the trimmings would be nice

Nordie · « **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2009, 03:59:24 PM »

just asking, because being a more of a hot rod hull i would think it would be set-up bbc or bbf...bbo takes me a little by suprise...in my opinion i would be on the look out for a bbc...if you choose to run the bbo be easy on her

Hey Nordie have you ever seen that boat it has nv stickers

Nordie · « **Reply #15 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:23:39 PM »

nope where i boat i dont see very many jet-boats them lake people dont think jet boaters are normal they think we are gonna sink n shit....boat was probably from the reno tahoe area or something rather, but you never know...most boats that are on craigs down here are from arizona or california...definately a cool boat though

? why is the intake on this pump shaped like a triangle in the front

IRRebel · « **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2009, 05:15:36 PM »

Because that's an AT pump, not a berk.

I'll post pics in a few.

honda1 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 20, 2009, 05:40:33 PM »

whats AT stand for

Just Electric · « **Reply #22 on:** December 20, 2009, 06:00:00 PM »

im assumming american turbine

IRRebel · « **Reply #23 on:** December 20, 2009, 06:36:49 PM »

Heres some pics of the American Turbine and Berkeley 12-JG pump housings side by side.
To the left is the AT pump, the right is a JG

Opposite on this one, the left is the JG berk.

Bowl side, the AT is on the right, JG on the left

Finally, should be self explanatory by now, AT on the left, JG on the right, Intake side.

Not any appreciable difference that I can detect without a machinsts table and a dial inticator stand. Look similar enough for most of us!

Its a Berkeley suction with a Dominator or Aggresor or ?? bowl Folks (check the clean out and ) brg carrier area cant 'splain the cut back corners without more pics nor could I comprehend the motive . not OEM except some "transom mount jets" Tom

more pics of the actual intake please the more look at it the more I think some one "rigged" the Berk suction to fit god only know what intake
