I've been told that the longer vanes in the C bowl flow better and that a properly done conversion will outflow a G or B bowl. My buddies 18' CP has it done and I have no idea if it actually works better. I talked with Jack about it a while back and the jist I got was that it was not an efficient use of money for the gains that would be seen. It's not cheap to do and I got the feeling that he wasn't real interested in taking on the project.
If anybody wants to try, I've got two C bowls that have been flowed that would make good starting points. Jason
Yeah, I've heard that too. But I could really care less if the converted C bowl can outflow a G bowl. I'm going to be attempting the conversion myself, on a worn out C bowl that I have laying around that came free with the boat, so if it doesn't work out then I have lost nothing that wasn't already gone to begin with. However, I am not trying this on my good bowl, that is currently on the boat, which has been flowed and blueprinted at some point.
The only reason I'm going to attempt the conversion is because I don't have the money to slap down on a G bowl, unless somebody has one that they're willing to let go of.....for cheap, lol.
But I should be able to do the conversion for next to nothing. I want to try a droop on my boat to see if it makes it ride a little better, and compensate for some of the hook in the bottom of my boat.
When I make the ring that is welded on, I'm going to make 2 so that if it does work out, and doesn't prove to be a royal pain in the ass, then I will try it on my good bowl as well. And sell the other one so I can buy a droop, the only problem with the bowl I'm attempting this on is that the nozzle area is badly worn, but that gets cut off in the conversion, so......
I really need to get a picture looking into the nozzle end of a converted bowl, and a few measurements off the bowl, before I can start.
Thanks.
Oh, and my boat doesn't like loaders, bogs the pump down too much, lowering my already low engine rpm.
At least that's what the loader I tried did.
