[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 225347, member: 1523"] Klein, maybe I can answer some of your questions based off my build. 1. On the Seadoo motor / pumps splined shaft alignment is going to be more critical vs. the Yamaha's love-joy type coupling so it may be easier to avoid that mess my fabbing the glass hull into the bottom of the jon boat. Usually the joint looks like crap and I would suspect corrosion issues down the road if used in bracket waters. I chose all aluminum on my install, including making the pump inlet, which was a bit of a pain but also a fun learning experience. 2. On mine when I had the exhaust exiting above the water line at the pump it was louder. I've since ran the exhaust down and out of the pod and it's much quieter even though the exhaust is still out of the water at speed. 3. On mine I need 30' of 2' of water depending on where the trim tabs are set. Before adding the tabs it was 20' but it seemed to dig a bit deeper. Jamie [/QUOTE]
