so I googled....

(https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.teshio.com%2FJetBoat%2Fimages%2Fdrakepump.jpg&hash=c8a5added55e8e86db93fcbb515fd58bd5c0718c)

it looks pretty much like a berkeley....and other then that picture.....that was all I could find.

This website actually has pics of many different pumps.....I never thought there was anything outside of berk, dom, panther, and jaccuzi.

Post by: countryboyaustin on February 15, 2007, 02:53:15 PM: Drake was a project by Drake and Offenhauser. The drakes got put as stock on eliminators and several other boats . They have been compared to a big jacuzzi. Mine on my 1974 Eliminator still runs like a top. Scares me because parts are not available but the guy in my town says he can make the parts no prob. I guess I will see if it ever comes to that. I considered switching out but instead i put on some new intake hardware and had the impeller polished. I have no issue with it. It aint broke so I aint fixin it!
