Just wondering .
I see alot of guys still running the jacuzzi Pumps.
Trying to get a feel for the amount of guys that could benefit From a shoe &Ride plate kit.
I'm Working on making another simple Bolt On Kit ,No Machine work to the intake req.
It would include : Custom Shoe, Ride plate, Yoke, Bolts and Epoxy.
Everything that is needed will be in the Kit.
Still trying to calculate the price$

Id be concerned with the depth on the shoe if the intake in the boat was set anywhere near where it should be-machining seems like it would be mandatory. If someone was willing to tear their intake out and reset to accomodate a new shoe then I think you might be on to something. I dont think Id be limiting my product to just the Jacuzzis though.
Need to know what intake they have though(for the WJ), reportedly there is more than one style. I know of atleast two different designs. Unfortunately Im not real certain as to what the differences are- I do know that the intake on my WJ was crude(to put it nicely) before I had it reworked.

If I were to pull the intake on my jacuzzi I would go back with a berkley intake not a modified jacuzzi. I also have a yj pump.

my WJ had a ride plate on it when i got it. it said super jet on the little mount on the back. i took it off and it seemed like the boat was a bit quicker, but im not sure, didnt have the gps.

They do require adjustment...

depends on the way it mounted. Show some pics. Sometimes they mount to the bottom of the bowl with a custom mount...sometimes they mount to the nozzle assembly bolts. Either way it may or may not work. If its the first way, you will need to drill new holes into the bowl...

here is a pic of the mount I have for my ride plate:

The front side of the plate should mount to the shoe. The back side mounts to the flat spot here, the curved area mounts to the bowl...

One More Question? is that when I make this Shoe For the YJ Jacuzzi ,
Are the Intakes on the YJ & WJ the same?
If Not wich one is more popoular.
Have not worked that much with the Jacuzzi Stuff. Only Done Two of them so far.

May require a modified set up. You want a ride plate though, they are good for a performance minded boater to have. May take some setup, but they usually produce better speed

I dont think the intakes are the same. Not positive though, but I recall hearing that they are different.

shouldnt be too hard to modify or make a new bracket, i will just have to experiment with it.
