Opened the box and pulled away all the foam packing fabric...................


HOLY MUTHA F>CKER...........


Two drop dead gorgeous water jetted engine plates for my motor...........


Tommy, those thing are awesome.  I'll try to post up some pictures but the quality of these things are NICE!!!

Folks, iff'n you're in need of some and don't have the talent that Ralph and his Pops have, don't hesitate to pull the trigger on these.  They're very nice..........(typical JPB quality)

Hello we are Jet Boat Performance and we approve this message.

Thanks Josh- it does say mar-bud on the serial tag.  It all looks pretty original as of now- no snoot or diverter- yet- I don't really know the history of the pump so I am trying to prepare for the worst- Can the older pumps be update to accept the stainless shaft, HP Bearings, and newer style impellers or is it better to go with the american turbine impellers- sorry for all the questions- thanks for all the answers

American Turbine is Dominator, so any impeller your going to buy from them is going to be the same casting, they just cut the wearring skirt down from standard  1" to 3/4" if you were to use the original style wear ring.  However if you are going to rebuild it with a new impeller it only makes scence to replace the wear ring with the modern style. The shaft you have is stainless, it's just a standard grade of stainless.  To upgrade to the HP bearing kit would not be, IMO, putting your money in the best place, the standard replacement bearing is going to last you and do everything you want it to do up to huge HP#.

The new barge has an early dominator 12s-  Any body have thoughts or info on these pumps- I was looking on American Turbine's site and they have all these upgrades and hp kits - just looking for the low down on these pumps-

When you say early is it a Mar-Bud Casting? They are great pumps and very strong (thick castings).   Early Dominators aren't all that different than late Dominators, the mixing bowl has been improved through the years as have the impellers.  New models come standard with a 17-4 Race strenght shaft, and an HP Bearing kit. Rebuild kits are readilly available.  Replacement wear rings are available with a 1" skirts to use a standard American Turbine impeller now.  The exit side of the original bowl can be opened up from 5.5" to 6.25" to help them flow better (especially when coupled with a droop). 

Warning: The original glacier bearings in these bowls are water lubricated also, which is fine, but the bowl is prone to severe cracking when the bushings and sleave are pressed out.

You do seem to have that concept down don't you?

Indeed

Is $750 the norm for carpet

Do they give you a reach arround with that price   For that price they ought to hem the edges and put snaps in for quick removal like the roll bar boats.

Do it your self: http://www.boatcarpetbuys.com/boatcarpet-type/321-8--Wide-16oz-Marine-Carpet.asp Just one of the places I found on a google search

I really like this idea.  I'm wanting to do the same and would love to hear the particulars.  I'm running an all MSD system but without the start retard they sell. 

One way to do it would be to hook the white wire on the box up to a switch to ground it out, that kills the spark.  Then get it cranking and throw the switch.  Kinda like a Magneto.  You can also double this as the kill switch.

You can also isolate the ignition wire to a separate switch.

Love is a funny thing, there always seems to be enough to go around.   

True, but food and money are a different thing

thats the only way mines getting there

Try taking out another shim from your shoe

On a WAY WAY cooler note, we got word last night that I get to be a gramps for the second time next weekend!!!!  They're going to induce Sara Friday night and I get to hold that little bugger very soon.....Yahooo  

Must be somethin in the water  Congrats!!!

Couldn't Be that ones in the water J/K

I had Jim Rich help me with my setup, trust me, you don't want any of this!

I guess I'm confused, thats either fightn words or caveat emptor, either way the picture makes me laugh

I'm using the Crane Distributor w/ electric advance (no counter weights) , it has 8 degrees when cranking and as soon as it fires and idles (1000-1100rpms) it advances to 16 with a total of 32 all in at 1600 rpms.    I still like to get it cranking and throw the switch.
