Is that an AL Impeller?

[Wicked Performance Boats]

Yes it's alumium

[UBFJ #454]

Thor, you going to try and weld it up or 'pitch it'?

[Mighty Thor]

Duane at HTP looked at my pictures for me and said it is probably beyond repair so I am looking to replace it. This is a AA impeller and I want to keep my holeshot as much as possible.

Thor -
If your going to 'Pitch It', I need one just like that for a project I'm about to embark on ... And no, I'm not going to repair it, cut it down or anything like that ... need it for something else ... For an R&D Project.
Will pay shipping to me if you'd let it go.

Bear, I gotta get another one first, then I will let you know. We did run this one and it worked Sort of but I want to have this right. I have one that is really torn up if you are interested. It is from a jet that lost the thrust bearing and snap ring. it ground into the intake quite a ways.

[UBFJ #454]

I need one that is essentially intact overall form wise externally and at the center (the more, the better) ... don't particularily care about impeller blades as long as everything is totally one piece and aligned (shaft hole relative to the outer surface.
Maybe you could post a picture of your other one, if it's not too much trouble.
Thanks,
Jak

hey bear, i have a bc that is just growing moss. youve been helpfull to me inspite of myself so its yours if you want it.

[Duane HTP]

Bear, I 've got close to a hundred of them lying around like that. Do you need more?

[UBFJ #454]

Duane -
Could actually use two if you want to get rid of them ... would like to get two closely matched Berkeley A's (or bigger) that have their outer rings in reasonable junk shape. Two would make our 'Slice & Dice' Project easier.
If your inclined to help I'll call with shipping and CC info (I'll also let you know what we're up to) ... Let me know.
Thank You Very Much and, Our Best.
Jak

[Duane HTP]
