[QUOTE="optaylor823, post: 184374, member: 1201"] That polished impeller looks nice, but would not last long the way I run my boat. It sees to many rocks and gravel shoals to stay that way. I agree a sharpened impeller does help. I see the biggest difference in my hole shot. When my impeller gets to bad I have to ease into the throttle and start off slow, because the RPMs get to high and the jet goes to sucking air. I do not see much difference in the top end, but of course I am not looking for top end since I run a dangerous river with a 16' boat and a converted 175 that will only run about 40 mph and most days I only run about 30, so I am not using a lot of gas and it gives me time to see obstacles.
