Are you drinking he bong water? ;D
If it is what I think it is, you need to check the U-joints for excessive wear, sometimes the angle on the drive line is either too little or too great causing some bizarre happenings at lower speeds...This can also happen with a stainless steel impeller with tired bowl bearings..
Tom from JBP may be able to add some more in sight....

How rough (Lopey) is your idle? (Hot cam?). Could be loose motor mount, foot, or plate, as a minor issue. Not gonna go where else it COULD be...... :'( I'm assuming it doesn't happen at any speed.......

may have just stumped the band here ;) some motor box constrution boats tend to "squirm" (lengthwise twist) rolling thru wakes when the floor structure breaks down , makes for a wierd feeling while driving , conversley "vibration" is typically shaft bearings or bushings or.. a driveline yoke to pump shaft wear deal (we call it machine noise) , generally worse on the trailer , also audible at slow speeds in the H20 and typically disipates with an impeller load (rpm increase) Tom

Check Jet pump, same thing happened to me (intermitant vibrations @ hull) it was Berk. needed overhaul. (grease zirk, use Lucas 90 Wt. oil at bulb, and check u-joints). take it easy

Flywheel or flexplate loose? Harmonic tight? driveline, how long has this been going on?

Well the problem is my pump was goin bad in a big way (I found metal shavings in the jet/motor cooling hoses). I was hydro locking at The Delta and I started to suspect something clogging waterflow. I pulled off hose that feeds BBF and found metal shavings (aluminum), then went to front of moter where impeller set up is and took about a TBL. spoon of fillings blocking the flow path. Gonna rebuild pump W/(Dave GT BOATS) thanks for all input givin.

Can you give me contact information for GT Boats. I'm curious if this company is related to the GT Boats that was in Pacheco during the late 70's, early 80's.
Thanks
