 X2, those boats had the little factory plate to control the porpoising issue (it was probably set downward from the factory). With that longer plate you have made it way more sensitive to plate angle. And with a plate that wide it will take way less angle to have the same affect as a standard ride plate.  You just need to keep adjusting it down until your issue stops.  Once you get it close, a 1/4 turn on those turnbuckles will make or break the setup, been there done that. 

 A plate angled up will create a low pressure area under itself and try to pull the plate down (bringing the bow up).  If you dont have the thrust/speed to hold it up there, it falls back down and starts all over again (porpoising). 

 You might also want to add a couple pieces of angle to the top of the plate (front to back) to make sure it doesnt flex.  If the plate flexes it will change shape at different speeds and you will be chasing your tail trying to figure out whats going on. 

Shaft splines are the same, only difference might be length.  Some of the Jacuzzi combos had a short Drive line that didnt use a PTO.

  Maybe a little, just to cool the blower.

 No, just kidding. The problem is theres lots of stuff that can be added/done to make more power, but then you have to make the bottom end handle it ($$$$).

 I do keep finding myself looking at the mech injection systems though.

 Funny story, I sent a message to Brian Busby the other day about some parts and said, "now I understand how you ended up with a BA motor in the old boat".  He responded with one word, "Exactly" .   

X2, I used stripper to get the paint off my project too, it didnt hurt the gel.  Just be warned, you never know what you will find under that paint (old repairs, cracking gel, pink gel, you never know).

 I guess your right Skippy, that black wire on mine might be brown.  Its old and dirty. 

It wasn't so much the cost of the blower equipment for the Ford that worried me when I looked into doing it, it was the ignition issues. An offset or tiny dizzy/mag or crank trigger system seems to be required to make it work.

If I did it, I was going to do two of them in the Shrimpin Boat project, so double that cost.

Let us know what you find out.

Ray

 Or get a longer belt and stick a big intercooler under the blower. 

Mmmm, now thats good cookin. 

 Try some Fruit loops too Brad, there even good without the milk.

yep it sure does
thanks propless.

now what do i do with it??

you send it to the sleek craft retirement community....ray's house!

 Yea, grab what you want out of it and Ray will come get whats left over. He might say No now, but he really wants it or he wouldn't be here looking at the pics.  I think he wants/needs another project. 

 No problem.
 I dont want to come across as a YJ hater, they do have some good points too.  There an axial flow pump so they are better at processing debris (weeds, sticks, floating wood chips, etc) than a Berkeley style pump.  Anytime I got something stuck in mine all I had to do was stab the throttle a few times and it would clear its self out.  And they have a great holeshot.  When the pump was still in good shape, my old boat would pull up skiers really well.  And (at least with my old boat) it allowed the motor to be set alot farther back in the boat than others I saw (same hull design) with Berkeley pumps.  This gave the boat more room for people.  There just not good for speed, and you dont get a nice big rooster tail.   BTW, in case you dont already know, theres a grease fitting for the rear (bowl) bushings inside the bowl that some people dont know is in there. Open the reverse bucket and stick your hand into the nozzle, you'll feel it right in the center. 

 Like I said, if your pump is still in good shape I would fix the trim system (if you can get the parts) and enjoy it for the summer.  If you decide you want to go faster, wait for next winter and pick up a different boat minus motor (there cheap like that), drop your motor in there and sell yours. 

 This was mine with the YJ. I used it for about 10 yrs, and it was a good boat, then I decided it was just to slow. 

 You should give Tom or Josh at Jet Boat Performance a call ((805) 466-4719). Last I remember they had an old YJ trim system sitting around. They might still have some parts for it.

 No, you cant use a normal diverter on a YJ.

 Yes, the factory unit will do some good.

 No, it wont put up much of a rooster tail. Its the wrong kind of pump for that, it moves large volumes of water but at low pressure.  If you want a big roost, you need a high pressure pump (the Energizer kit), and a diverter.  But, with the price of boats today, if thats what your after, your better of getting a different boat with a Berkeley, Dominator, A/T, etc, etc pump.    

It is going to mount to a BBC PTO

-beerjet-

Not so much the Chevy PTO but any PTO.
So long as its a 1310

 Not trying to kill a sale for you CHROMEY, but that DL looks like one of the ones that dosnt use a PTO.  I have one just like it. Came from a BBC and Jacuzzi combo, there shorter then normal and dont use a PTO, they bolt up direct.
