so I was looking into loaders.. do these go above the grate? or do you replace the grate altogether? then the question is.. what about lake weeds getting sucked into the pump?

here are some more pics
also I am wondering what rpm I should be at...
any way to tell what impeller I have? and if there is a better one
sorry for all the "greenhorn" questions..
it is a 427 bbc with a offenhouser 360 intake with an 850 helley on top.. the guy who sold it to me says the cam has been worked...

I have not driven this boat yet... lakes are frozen here.. it does not have a shoe or ride plate... no snoot or place diverter.. just a stock 79 boat.. an older guy had it and made a trade for a snowmobile.. runs good.. loud as hell.. still need to drive it.. I just know that most boats can be improved over stock. and a plce diverter will be fun.. love to shoot a roost and show off.. just curious if anyone has a similar setup and can give me advice on my first jet..

Just purchased my first jet boat.. 1979 southwind. has a 427bbc with a single 4 barrel carb. wet headers. berkely jg pump.
guy I bought it from said it was around 500 horsepower, it's an 18' boat
its completely stock.. no mods....no place diverter...
I know I want a place diverter.. question is does anyone have a similar setup?
will a long or short droop snoot help? or straight snoot?
will a ride plate help? do I have enough horsepower?
also will a rudder help me?
it has snaps that look like it has a windshield at one time does anyone know were I could find one?
all new here.. never driven. also should I get a rudder
