Figured it'd look stealthier if everything stayed under the engine cover, which required swapping intakes. I can get the same hp with this combo that I could with a blower motor, so rather than piss off the wife with a blower, she keeps her mild mannered looking cruiser. Tom's building a killer pump that'll make this boat come alive (even for a 21). Jacuzzi WJ converted to all AT internals. AA mag-bronze impeller and inducer, but haven't made up my mind yet about a droop.

So Mike, what the hell is that beautiful blower going on to, the Model 'A'?
I would seriously think about a strait snoot from Dwane. Your boat has to be close in weight as my Hallett.
You know my feelings on droops on heavy boats unless you are throwing tons of horsepower to the pump.
My Foxwell engine turns the Starkweather stainless 'A' impellor induced pump with a straight snoot with 8 degrees of up wedge to 6,000 RPM.
No porpoise what so ever at any speed with the Hallett with my set up.
Do the math and remember what you said to me about the strait snoot at my birthday party at Victors house. Down wedge with a straight snoot is the same as keeping your diverter in the down position, no lift.
The straight snoot is nothing more than a extended lever, wedge it up and let the force work for you.
It works for me and you know it.
