I have done business with him and he is a straight up guy, you are in good hands.

Pulling out your pump and freshing it up isn't that difficult. Once the impeller is off, and it's in good shape, just a matter of a wear ring clearances, and put it back together. Same if you need a new impeller. It's not rocket science. (Just jet boat science) youtube has a very indepth videos, from cp performance.

I've done half a dozen pumps over the years.

Yupp ive binged watched all of them, never done a jet pump before but then again 10 years back id never done an outdrive either. The thing im at odds with is the cost of rebuild kit versus having it built by pd, versus picking up this refurbished unit... Decisions decisions hahaha

One thing to keep in mind is that there is detailing that can be done to make the pump more efficient. It may not effect your cruiser like a hot rod, so paying someone to do it might not be worth it. But that is something maybe to discuss with Place Diverter.
Another thing to think about is an inducer. It is an smaller impeller that goes on the shaft in front of the impeller that helps to keep it loaded. It is supposed to help with acceleration. The shaft would have to be machined to add it. These things aren’t necessary. But if you end up rebuilding, now would be the time to consider them.
Sorry to make it more confusing. But, just some things to think about.

Nah Its all confusion for me until i get hands on with it hahaha so any input from someone who been there is appreciated.

Basil is a good dude, but he puts the thrust bearings in backwards. I've seen in twice now. It won't grenade immediately, but it will create issues.

If your impeller is in good shape then your rebuild shouldn't even be close to $900.

Well damn thats no good. Think my bearing is going bad... Whistles off the ramp till she warms up(never did that before engine was built). Pretty sure impeller is good but didnt do any measurements yet taking hand hole cover and nozzle off right now maybe bowl too if im feeling lucky. Ok ill check them out too thanks for the input, ive heard of another guy in Temecula that does blueprinted pumps too but dont recall his name.

Be careful, if that bearing goes bad the impeller will grind itself against the suction housing ruining lots of parts along the way. If it goes far enough it can cause problems with your engine's thrust bearings.

If it's squeaking now that could be the impeller grinding against the wearing ring. I'm throwing out a worst case scenario, but I prefer to err on the side of caution.

This last summer I saw a couple super gnarly blown pumps. A new thrust bearing could have saved them form buying a new pump.

Here's a pump I have down at BLR right now for a customer. I can't wait to see it in person. Bowl is currently at the machinist getting lightened. Customer went all out. Rebuild, inducer, shoe and ride plate, machined bowl, along with a new droop and diverter, all powder coated super silver candy red. When I get it back I'm resetting the intake and building aluminum TA plates. Should be nice all said and done.

No i definitely agree id rather just take care of it now and not risk totaling a fresh motor over something completely preventable.Man thats a classy looking pump! Send me the contact info i looked it up and couldnt find much but i dont have any social media so it was just google.

Thanks man yea i really hope so it already got up and boogied before the motor and pump were built, just the piece of mind knowing theyre both fresh and done right will be worth it.
