Pushing 70 is not bad at all, my Hondo with WJ (no energizer) and a worn out 454 will only make 60 with just me in it.

This black gullwing has a Jacuzzi in it and it was doing 109 mph, not sure if it was a WJ or a YJ though.

I had a long talk with Roger Finney about the Jacuzzi pumps....he worked for them for many years....I believe he used to be a sales rep.

He really believes in the race prep'd jacuzzi pumps.....the factory mass produced jacuzzi's were garbage and couldn't stand up against a Berkeley....but they had blueprints for the race setups that they had hand machined that would out perform any Berkeley....and the sad part is that per pump cost..it was less to machine the race pump then it cost to put one through the assembly line.

The question I never did ask him is why he's running a Berk now.  >:D

Boost the WJ is a good pump, with the Energizer on there you get rid of the biggest problem with a jacuzzi-the bowl. The impeller is next and they can be made to work real well. My WJ pushed my last boat into the mid 90's first time out with no setup, same as a berk has done in similar boats. No doubt in my mind that the boat would have done 100 with a little tweaking and some cleaner water(super choppy out-couldn't stay in it too long). Unfortunately after the first time out my wife shook her head at me and told me we needed a bigger boat.

Get your impeller detailed by Jack @ MPD and add the shoe & ride plate. A bowl detailing will help to, but I would do that after the shoe-ride plate and impeller. You wouldn't notice any difference with the berk IMO.
