The Golden Eagle is simply a Jacuzzi 12YJ that was produced as a transom mount or "insert pump" (similar to the Berk "E") they are an axial flow jet designed to move larg volumes of water The work well as designned but do not respond well to added HP .They can be upgraded with the American turbine "Energizer" kits to produce very respectable performance (done several with very good results ) Tom

Yea, anything can be fixed, but is it worth it ?
That "Energizer" kit probobly cost as much (or more) than the selling price of the boat. And your still stuck with an insert style pump. Anybody ever seen a loader for an insert style Jacuzzi YJ, with an Energizer kit ??
IMO, if your looking for a boat to just cruise around and not go fast it might be worth looking at. But if you have any thoughts of performance or going fast in the future. Forget about that boat. You will spend lots of money on it just getting it close (and only close) to performing like a boat with a standard Berkeley, Dominator, etc, etc pump.
