I am going to attempt to ask a question and not wind up in such a battle as my question on a valve to regulate water (the gate valve issue) - although very informative, what a debate!!
I have a 27' Sleekcraft, 454 Indmar with a 12JC pump, 800 holley double pumper & logs. HEI electronics, and a hydrualic place diverter unit. Out of water the motor revs well past 6000 rpm. In the water, I get a maximum of 4100 rpm. Not sure what impeller I am running, however it is aluminum for whatever that is worth and I feel this is my limiter. Boat does get up real quick and plains sweet with the diverter.
Strong motor no problems or issues, but wish to get more more speed (doing about 50mph now), to get more speed I need more rpm's at the nozzle end (I presume).
Oh great jet God's, what shall I do??
As always - your responses are appreciated!
