Good luck. If the boat is worth the money, do the swap out and put a Berk compatible pump in it. My first Schiada had a Drake in it. What does he need???

Drake built one of the best jets even by todays standards, I would keep it if I were you and just start calling around for parts. He was a good family friend of ours but died about a year ago. I'll see if I can find who bought his designs and what will work in their place. What parts did you need?

Based on what you've posted up??? On top of how long ago I sold it to the guy your buddy bought it from??? Not a clue. :idea: :notam:
My suggestion, being that it's a Schiada, is have it refitted with a berk and roll from there. That boat is solid and worth the money if that's the route someone wanted to go. Be money ahead down the road rather than trying to fix the drake that's on it.
