So, I'm pulling the Glasscutters 23.5' boat home the other night, when up ahead I see an intersection and a YELLOW light. I think hmm, do I blow the light or try and stop. To my right I see a cop, hmm, better stop. BUT, the big boat doesn't want to and pushes me 1/2 way into the intersection. I looked up and wave to the cop, he shook his head, waved back and drove off.
So, here's the beginning of the pump internals, wear ring was previously mis-installed and looks like a little "rock turned lathe action" between the impeller and the suction. Made this a new ventilated impeller.

With that extra ventalation I guess it won't get hot running it out of the water then will it. :sly: :screwy:

I DON'T DO THAT! Dad says not to. Tom that is not the kind of thing I like waking up to in the morning. :mad:

John we really appreciated your bringing the boat up ,Great to meet and talk to you and the family sorry about the bad pump news post this AM ,repairs are pretty standard stuff, the rock gouges in the suction are easily repaired . with a little deburring and epoxy. If nothing else maybe this will explain the performance issues you were having ,theoretically the jet shouldn't have worked at all with the impeller and wear ring in the condition they were in will keep you posted .. ;DTom
BTW meant no offense at the big boat comment ,prolly would have helped if I had the trailer brakes hooked up :banghead:

no prob Tom. I haven't heard back from the guy, but it sounds like he's getting a sour deal. I just really don't think the sour deal is coming from any friends of mine....
