Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

A few updates. I ordered some carbon fiber seats and bought a rear bench. I need to fabricate some mounts and install everything. I have to do some bottom work and set in a new intake then the motor will go in. Here are a few pictures.

Update:
I did a little more work on the boat this last weekend. Madskillz let me use his house for storage for a couple of days and let me pick his brain on the removal of my pump and intake. Thanks to Willowog for giving me an intake. The boat is prepped and ready to go to harold at R&D marine to have the new intake set. When i was pulling the boat apart i noticed that i have a S.S impeller, but im not sure the size. The intake will be at harolds first to get machined for a ride plate and shoe and then the boat will go down to get the intake set. I have taken some measurements for my seat mounts and rail kit. That along with the interior will be getting done while the boat is at the shop. Hopefully when the boat is back from harolds ill have seats ready to install and then re-wire. I hope to have it done for the March get together in Parker. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Well a little update. I just dropped the boat off at R & D marine to have the intake set. I installed the rail kit and the two new carbon fiber buckets I bought. The boat should have an intake in it and set by the weekend. I have just about everything I need to finish putting it together out side of a few little items and interior. Hopefully I make it for the march trip. Here are a couple pictures

How much are you spending to have the intake set and installed? I'm researching costs to see if I can go there before the start of the season.
Thanks

The cost will vary depending on what you want done and how extensive the work. Mine wasnt cheap because I did all the right stuff and then some. I had it machined for a shoe/ride plate, so i had to buy all that stuff. There was more fiberglass work that needed to be done than thought. it will cost you about 275 for the set. then the price goes up from there.

Thanks Beav

If I'm going to do this, I too will do it right. I'm wondering if I can do it all for under $2k. I figure I'll need different intake, machine work, ride plate, shoe, shaft, drive line, SS impeller will kick the price way up. I'm open to used HP parts if their available. The outside of my pump is sweet, 9 vane agressor bowl, HP steering nozzle and PD.

2K might not get you there with everything. A SS impeller will use most of that money right up unless you can find a used one, but it will still set you back 6-800 bucks. You can have your intake machined, ride plate, shoe and installed for under 2K, im not sure what a pump rebuild will cost you but i would bet in the neighborhood of 6-800 as well. I have the intake that came out of my daytona with a ride plate, shoe and even a loader that you could modify to work. OM if you are intersted. I only removed the intake and stuff because i needed a back seat and the Berk R intake had been modified to be low profile.

Well some more progress on the ol daytona. I got my boat back from R&D marine saturday afternoon. The intake is fully installed and set. I wasnt able to work on the boat sunday due to the super bowl. During this week I will be installing the pump and getting the motor plates all dialed in. Then hopefully by the weekend I can have a motor in it and start plumbing and wiring it all up. Its coming along and will go together a lot faster now.

I got to see this boat Sat when I went to look at his old intake. Sweet ride. Makes me think a bit more about replacing my Rogers with a 19' Daytona.  :thumbup: :beer:

I just have a big ass laundry list of things to do to get it ready. There is no need to rush it.

As for the ram horn bucket. The ram horn bucket allows the boat to back up. Since the race nozzles, or in thos case a old school version of a race nozzle, they do not have a reverse nozzle. The ram horn diverts water towards the front of the boat letting back up slighly or stay still, like neutral.
