Is it possible( I am sure it is) to remove a jacuzzi wj and replace with a Berk. and what type of undertaking.
Reasoning: Energizer kit is $$$$ Or buy a Berk, refresh and save some $$$

The WJ isnt that bad of a pump . It's a mix flow pump just like a berkley . Have it freshened up right and it should haul the mail .
Otherwise , other than the energizer kit . The entire pump from intake to nozzle gets shit canned . Now your into fiberglassing and an entire new pump when you could have gotten rid of the ride and picked one up with a berk in it for the same if not cheaper .
Freshen it up and see what happens .

Lets say that Boat A and Boat B are identical in every way, motor, weight, blah blah. Except for the pumps. In the same water conditions, temp, etc what are the difference in accel, top speed, etc

I raced (for fun w/o seriousness) a Berkeley driven boat with my Jacuzzi driven boat and won. Both pumps probably never been touched since new ( about 30 years old). Berkeley driven boat had much more engine than mine. Jacuzzi's are good only up to 500 HP I heard. ??? Ralph is currently "into" a Jacuzzi WJ, his WJ was tired and he just had it rebuilt, and he added a Place Diverter to it - no news as of yet...

I am just curious, because all I ever hear and read is blah blah blah jacuzzi's arent sh$t without the energizer. But 1500 to 2400...Bl@w Me!

You, me, and Ralph should know soon. Wait for Ralph to figure how his changes worked for him.

the cut out on the bottom of the boat with a WJ is smaller than a Berk, so no glass work :o just cut it bigger.
