[QUOTE="flatboat, post: 341967, member: 5508"] Well its like a Hydro tec port job , the same port map and set up . I didn't know there were three blade stainless impellers I've seen the 4's . When you say they run better , in what respect ? I could see where they may be lighter would that be an advantage ? I have so many questions about this setup . I spoke to a nice young man at Trout Marine yesterday , he said the set back may a problem . ideally it would be better closer to the transom but a plate bolted to jack plate will help , he suggested at least 18"wide . He agreed that the motor should work ok ,I know I will hook up the rev limiter again. I can see a problem over reving if it cavitates . Two feet of the center keel has been removed to clean flow to the prop set up . I've read where that was a good idea for the jet as well . My goal is ....If I can get on a plane , run 20 mph or so with a fishing load and get in and get out with out destroying parts I' m good with that . I know if were making a permanent switch to a jet , I would get it closer to the transom , now I need that flexablity . Right now I can hear those fish calling "catch me Eddie , catch me !
