Jet Pumps / Jacuzzi 12wj rpm range
« on: March 13, 2007, 02:08:54 PM »
anyone know what kind of rpm range you will need with a 12wj?
also the energyzer?
It is in a 19ft wakikki day cruzr the motor is a 454 still trying to figure how i am building the motor.
so i think i better slow down and figure what operating range i need to build for
this site has given me lots of info so far thanks for your help.

Jet Pumps / set up to scare grandma
« on: February 28, 2007, 09:18:26 PM »
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

Projects / got my new project
« on: February 21, 2007, 06:01:21 PM »
so i picked up my new project it is a 19ft wakikki day cruzer came with a 454 and a jacuzzi pump.
the interior is shot and the stringer and floor are rotten away i am ready to tackle this first then the pump and motor ,interior last.
i pulled the motor and it looks ok i plan on a tunnel ram and 660's freshen up the heads and a new cam?
i plan on finding some basset headers. but the hard parrt is going to be the pump what do you guys think i should do about the pump i have no clue?
what would be a cool set up without breaking the bank?
i'll post some pics later

Projects / looking for a new hobby
« on: February 12, 2007, 11:32:59 AM »
so I have an itch for a boat i went to lake havasue a few years back and got a chance to drive a jet boat not sure what it was but it had a bbc w/ tunnel ram and was the bitchenest thing it was scary fast to me... well now here i am I saw a few boats on craigslist and my interest is back to full throttle I and am ready to jump in but i am having a hard time researching hulls and finding out were to spend my money wisely.
I have found a few tahiti projects but they have 455 olds and panther pumps. from what i have read that is a bad set up. question #1 how much skill is required to change over to a berkly pump? #2 are tahiti hulls good? i also found a "can am" boat that is pretty restored other than needing a motor it looks cool but i know nothing about what is a good hull and what to stay away from.
any help or advise on what to look for when finding a hull or boat would be greatly apreciated.
