Top notch work, Tom
looks like it went on a diet

WOW, that thing looks great now!

The Eliminaterjet pump was manufactured by two of my dad's cousins and the lead engineer who designed it in Lewiston, ID....What was unique about it was they were able to blow off a big block with a small block....rather than high RPM, high volume...it was a low RPM, high volume pump....the US Coast Guard even put some on their boats to go over the poacher cables, rather than around...its a very dependable pump and has a water-lubricated bearing in the housing that may have been the coast for its seizing after sitting so long....best regards....mike.....sierrasingledad@yahoo.com
