so i am done stripping my new project it is a 76 waikiki day runner 19ft
i am putting a 454 in i am leaning towards putting a blower on it not sure yet depends on the little bro..
so figure 600+ hp min

:obut the question at hand is the boat has a jacuzzi jet "wj" i took the bowl off and the impeller is chiped pretty good and the bowl looks like it is missing pretty good chunks out of the leading edges.

so do i spend the $1800 for the energizer?? or since i am going to be doing glass and paint work look for a new pump??
dose anyone know what kind of speeds i will get out of this boat with a energizer wj???
secondly what is a good setup for this hull???

and i guess lastly am i barking up the wrong tree thinking this could be a 70 mph boat???

thanks for all your input

With 600 ponies , it'll definatly run 70 assuming everything is it's place . I'm not the pump pro so I'll let someone knowlegable swing at this . I personally have only heard good things about the energizer kits and not to mention no glass work needed . Thats my .02

i'm with Omar on this one not being an expert and all. that being said i do have a jacuzzi y/j in my hawaiian and it does have the energizer kit in it, and it was the best thing i could do for it. the w/j pump probably does'nt need the kit to get to 70 it is already a good pump.

if i was you i would get a hold of one of our sponsor's and ask some

duane at htp or george at ars marine. either one will point you in the right direction. mho is keep the w/j if your not looking to build a race boat. ralph

If you go to this site this guy is taking old pumps as trades for a new legend. I am no pump expert but I was in a dominator baot last week with a legend and he scared teh living shit out of me with the speed and power.
