This is how 99.9% of v bottom jets are.thank you much it helps a lot to see each with there name on them really happy to see that SCJB has a good helpful group of people on board hopefully I'll be able to show pictures of my project soon thanks again
A gullwing/TX-19 will look similar at the back (transom), but the front is a bit different. It's almost kind of a mix between a V and tunnel. Fast, good riding hulls.
Tunnel hulls have 2 "tunnels" that pack air under the hull as it planes. This is a Stealth, similar to an Eliminator Daytona. .
Southwind (SWTD), Crusader, Ultra, and some other companies made tunnels as well, but have 1 pointed bow instead of 2.
V-drive flatbottoms and hydros are just that, flat. V-drive cruisers have a V shape but are flat without the lifting strakes.
Hope this helps a bit. Keep asking questions. And welcome to SCJB.
Radials vs. Bias ply
What does everyone prefer.
Thanks
All you would need to do to utilize a droop would be a simple bowl swap. A two piece bowl is quote literally the input difference between a JC and a JG pump.
A shoe is a part that is cut into and installed at the rear of the intake of the pump replacing the cast in and rounded part of the ramp. It is also the point at which the ride plate will be mounted.
Back cut simply means it is machined at a slight angle as compared to the keel line basically forcing the hull to "ride back" on the plate, I'm thinking 2° back cut is a good starting point, this means the rear most portion of the shoe is 2° "higher" than the front.
It will allow you to fly the bow more than with a stock intake and make it "adjustable" by replacing the shoe. The intake will need to be machined for this modification.
As for a loader, they are a little bit of a trial and error thing, stay away from the ones marketed as a "ski loader", there are literally dozens of choices out there and there really is no "best" as all boats want something a little different. A good pump guru can (or should)be able to point you into the right direction.
Joe, aka FLUSHER can likely make a recommendation and possibly even be able to facilitate getting you what you need. Also would be a good source for getting a pump built and providing any insight and machine work you may want to persue.

So here is where my head is at.
You are getting close to the limitations of an aluminum impeller, but I would install a cleaned up aluminum A impeller (unless your wallet can support a mag-bronze or even a stainless). I would also recommend a quality loader grate and trim it to be 1/4" to 3/8" above the keel line.
A bowl stuffer never hurts and not all that costly, it will make the pump a little more responsive and snappy.
Ultimately, that hull would respond very well to a back cut shoe, ride plate and a short droop. It will help get some hull free from the drag of the water.
You're looking a 75 mph boat right in the face if set up correctly.
Weight must be aft and kept add light as humanly possible.
Good luck with the project.

Dinner is after 8pm? That is too late for you mister. You should be in bed by 8 at your age.
Where are you at in Montana?
I'm moving to Bozeman next week. Where are you running your boat up there?
Nearly 500 horses at 5k is the holy grail. FYI.

That's fukkin stout. Let me play with the numbers after dinner.
