[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 339370, member: 1523"] Meh, no deadrise and the strakes are catching more air which the pump then ingests. That's one of the reasons I had to install the spoon on my I/B jet. I have a 3` deadrise on my Alumacraft but at speed it wasn't enough. I think O/B jets benefit from being off the back of the hull a bit as it gives the water a chance to jump up into the intake. I'd still love to build the back of a spoon on an O/B jet to see how it would feed the pump and see how high I could mount the pump before it would cavitate. [/QUOTE]
