Low profile intake
« on: September 15, 2016, 08:33:14 PM »
Got a low profile intake machined with a shoe.    Not sure od the brand,  but it looks to be in great shape with the entry smoothed.

$400 OBO

Basically,  the mounting surface of the suction piece sits lower in the boat.    The result is the water having to bend less to enter the pump.   Most race guys have swapped over to a low pro intake.  There is a great thread on PB that explains it much better than I can, I'll try and find it

Think about it like this,  the closer you can get the impeller centerline to the keel,  the less the water has to change direction making pump loading much more effective and smooth. It also makes mounting the engine that much more "fun".

River Dad explained it perfectly.

Turns out it is a super jet "R" intake and I have the matched and blended Berk suction housing to go with it.

$600 for both
