IMHO unless you building a 500 +hp motor the droop will be unnecessary. I would try the Diverter and see what she does, that's a nice little boat.Put it together then see what she needs. There is nothing at all wrong with the JB pump suction BTW, it was the predecessor of the JC and JG pump. They are actually a bit thicker in the construction in the area of the packing, otherwise identical.If you are going to build 500+HP, lose the three point mounts, they are not strong enough IMHO to be safe. Go four point or buy a rail kit. Several times stronger.GT
for what it is worth my c bowl and pump seem to be fine no complaints here .
