Might want to check inside the jet. Never know what you'll find.
Glad to hear it wasn't worse. You got a nice boat.
And like Beav said, it even looks good on the rocks
Gosh this thread is cool on so many levels:
JBUnderground - way to have some very hot wimmin in your vid. Why can't I ever have that kind of crew during my mishaps?!!!
Then GT Jets steps in with a nice thread hijack and we (or at least I) forget about the OP's original (and relatively minor) boat out of water problem.
And then the BEST part of all is RivRat34's post. I think I may make this my sig line:
"man that was lucky nothing minor damaged! "
DOH! ...glad it all turned out ok.
I've been there. had the liberty stall at WOT and hook into the shore just north of bluewater. nothing you can do but hold on and go for the ride. its the most hopeless feeling ever.
Ill be there
what shall i look out for?
Looks like I am bringing two girls along
Could we get some pics of the back of the boat, the pump, ride plate and the hull itself? Sangers seem to have used a couple different style bottoms on thier Superjet
I still have a running boat, and spare bedrooms Gord.
Pulling Moo's engine tonight to see what I managed to do to it. Shouldn't be too bad.

Mike , gotta a hunch that the boat may end up needing some trim plates at the back to help control this my last Sanger was similar (bounding porpoise) and what finally helped it was a small amount of "hook" (created by the plates) at the stern Tom
Which Place Diverter do you have?
Old or new style? The old style (has a Berkeley style nozzle) will kick your ass....
Just my humble opinion.
Be sure and inspect the intake area of the bottom of the hull, look for cracks and such around the epoxy joints (for reasons of flexing in the pump) this flex could be causing both the difficulty in getting a good seal (silicone blows for this BTW) and the porpoise problem...
I would try some wedging, but not the traditional method of adding wedge, try up wedging about 7* if not already....You will have to play around with it to get an idea of what it will do...
Also make sure you don't have too much weight in the ass end of the boat.
Do you have a loader? This may give issues also.

get rid of the droop and put either a straight snoot style droop on it or one of the Place HPH units.
