750 dp tuned and ready, see ya at the lake tomorrow. The next adventure is going to be the pump, either having mine built by place diverter or just buying this one and install myself which i would do anyway with pd too.this old timer in sun city sell alot of jet boat shit anybody ever deal with him? Seems legit and maybe hell buy mine in exhange.

Yupp ive binged watched all of them, never done a jet pump before but then again 10 years back id never done an outdrive either. The thing im at odds with is the cost of rebuild kit versus having it built by pd, versus picking up this refurbished unit... Decisions decisions hahahaOne thing to keep in mind is that there is detailing that can be done to make the pump more efficient. It may not effect your cruiser like a hot rod, so paying someone to do it might not be worth it. But that is something maybe to discuss with Place Diverter.
Another thing to think about is an inducer. It is an smaller impeller that goes on the shaft in front of the impeller that helps to keep it loaded. It is supposed to help with acceleration. The shaft would have to be machined to add it. These things aren’t necessary. But if you end up rebuilding, now would be the time to consider them.
Sorry to make it more confusing. But, just some things to think about.

I mean the satisfaction factor alone is worth it hahaha guess i just got to absorb as much as possible come up with a gameplan of what will best suit the boat and go for it. Just kicking myself in the ass for not doing it when the motor was out this winter.

If your impeller is in good shape then your rebuild shouldn't even be close to $900.

Basil is a good dude, but he puts the thrust bearings in backwards. I've seen in twice now. It won't grenade immediately, but it will create issues.Well damn thats no good. Think my bearing is going bad... Whistles off the ramp till she warms up(never did that before engine was built). Pretty sure impeller is good but didnt do any measurements yet taking hand hole cover and nozzle off right now maybe bowl too if im feeling lucky. Ok ill check them out too thanks for the input, ive heard of another guy in Temecula that does blueprinted pumps too but dont recall his name.

Ok ill check them out too thanks for the input, ive heard of another guy in Temecula that does blueprinted pumps too but dont recall his name.Be careful, if that bearing goes bad the impeller will grind itself against the suction housing ruining lots of parts along the way. If it goes far enough it can cause problems with your engine's thrust bearings.
If it's squeaking now that could be the impeller grinding against the wearing ring. I'm throwing out a worst case scenario, but I prefer to err on the side of caution.
This last summer I saw a couple super gnarly blown pumps. A new thrust bearing could have saved them form buying a new pump.
Here's a pump I have down at BLR right now for a customer. I can't wait to see it in person. Bowl is currently at the machinist getting lightened. Customer went all out. Rebuild, inducer, shoe and ride plate, machined bowl, along with a new droop and diverter, all powder coated super silver candy red. When I get it back I'm resetting the intake and building aluminum TA plates. Should be nice all said and done.

You don’t waste any time! Good job. Hopefully you’ll see and feel quite an improvement.Thanks man yea i really hope so it already got up and boogied before the motor and pump were built, just the piece of mind knowing theyre both fresh and done right will be worth it.
