[QUOTE="duckman11, post: 442387, member: 22999"] I'm really unsure how to word this question properly....but here it goes. What happens when you make the pump intake bigger than what it is "stock"? I'm referring to the opening in the hull where the intake grate is located. For math purposes lets say that the stock opening is 40SqIn.....what would be the down side to making that area 60SqIn? The reason I'm asking is because I have an idea to make a pump out of aluminum to go along with the Kawasaki 900zxi engine I'm going to be using in my jet jon project. I run up the creeks here in Texas that feed into our lakes and I'm going to be crossing choppy open expanses of water so im thinking that splicing a jetski hull into a jon boat isn't going to be the strongest method of construction.
