they look like identical boats... why'd u pick up the other boat?  more room in the interior?  any problems with your existing boat?

The WJ is the better pump.

If there's no other variables, I agree totally with Crewchief,  go with the WJ, you definitely have more performance potential from that pump.

I would look closely at the floor and the condition of the bottom of the WJ Pumped (Charger?) boat.

If the floor and stringers are solid, and the bottom is free of hook or rocker, It should handle a ~500 HP big block.

My old Glenco, with 1/4 'engine' stringers, ran 72 gps'd with a WJ pump, no ride plate, shoe, loader, just a Place Diverter, spinning a jacuzzi 'b' at ~5200 r's.

The YJ can be outfitted with Berk style bowl and impeller...$$$

I would I like the charger but the floor needs to be replaced and I don't know How to do it or what it would cost to have it done

So I was look-in at the charger and found two dime size holes in the bottom of it looks like they tried to do a quick patch on it along with seat screws threw the bottom the sleekcraft is looking better and better only bad is the pump
