[QUOTE="DirtyD, post: 440049, member: 22593"] So, my variation of the loader grate did, well, zero. Working on round three of that now. Flat Bottom, thanks for the comment, duely noted. I am curious how far down you had to hang your grate to create such drag to lose 3mph. At this point ide take a top end loss just to hole shot this thing. When I built this, I used the factory sea doo shoe/ pump flange. Here's a photo of the tunnel that was welded to the outside of it. It was left with substantial gaps. Am I unreasonable to think that this design is keeping the pump from loading, or is it really just the lack of a spoon? Friday I took a day off just to sort some of these things out. One item is to take out as much center strake as reasonable. Thanks again for suggestions. [/QUOTE]
