The boat is a BAJA SPORT 200. It is a BBC, with a JE-A pump, with an A, or AA impeller---not sure. Boat has Berkeley electric jetovator. Just got motor back tonight, and it should be around 450 hp. Boat has a 27 gal gas tank all the way in the rear of the hull, with the front of the tank about even with the front of the motor. Seats are, couch across the back with buckets in front and closed bow. The bow section is very long, and leads me to consider the "BOW LIGHT" idea from one of the posts. Also, the hull is basicly a flat bottom, with very little "V" at any point. I have also lowered the rear of the ride plate while the motor was out, and have not had a chance to test it out due to lack of motor. This is my first JET BOAT, but I have been around boats my whole life, and know all about trim tabs, and hydrofoils on outboards and stern drives. It seems to me that on a "JET", the ride plate does the same thing as either one of these, so makeing it larger could only increase the effect.

Got to run the boat today. Ran perfect. May actually bring the ride plate back up a bit. Almost no porposing, even at low speed with diverter all the way up. Holeshot was pretty good, but that could be due to new motor, and fileing the impeller a little bit. Do not think I really need to make a larger ride plate at this point.
