Sounds like the perfect excuse to pull it, machine it for a shoe and rideplate and then reset it properly.
Thats almost a 1/4inch,quite a lot. I was going to say if your fast enough, to where you could benefit from a spoon or preload bubble on the bottom, you could rectify the problem that way. I seems you may have no other choice, thats alot to grind off, it's much easier to reset the intake, no to mention, the goodie you can add, while it's out, ie: shoe, ride plate, set-back. Oops did I say that?? keeps us posted...

If you really,really,really,really,really,really,really, like that hull......then I'd say do it. :220v:
Once you reset the intake, now the engine is gonna need to be aligned to the now correctly aligned pump. Gonna need new motor plates/mounts/redrilling stringers.....and so on.
I'd save the $ you'd spend on the "fix" and sell yours and find one that is already correct and buy that one. It would be the easiest way out. :boxed:
Bad Kachina, bad, bad Kachina. (such as your dog named Kachina that just pooped on the carpet........why did you do that!?) :crossx:
Just grind it out. :mix:
you can just shim the motor up if you have a rail kit, no big deal.Lift the jet 1/4", lift the engine 1/4".
If you like the boat then do it the right way. There is still plenty of time.
Ok so if I pull the intake then how do I reset the intake? I have never dont that before. Could someone please explain this to me....

I am going to install a railkit so thats no biggie. I am just lost on the lifting of the intake. I might be considering the shoe and rideplate kit as well. I spoke to dan nelson he said it takes alot of motor to run a shoe. He said If im running 81mph with the pump like it is then leave it. I just dont like the way the intake is hanging down like that. Kachina did a bad job of setting the intake like that......
