If I was going to build an all out race boat I think I'd go with an aggressor setup. That's for my own personal reasons though..

Mad impellers to you RD
I am just a humble engine builder who is learning as fast as I can about jet boats and pumps, but I must say that the bowl and housing posted by "Jungle Boy" is the trickest thing I have seen yet along those lines. And as I am learning from all the boat guys that I am meeting, Awesome looking stuff is always worth a little more speed on the water!

I couldnt imagine who would be telling you this jizzman???Tto bad you are stuck using their parts since they are not interchangable with any other pump. Except the impeller of course. How they stay in business is beyond me...kinda like panther and jacuzzi.

when used with a good impeller (Precision Impeller) will gain 3 - 5 mph on our boats.
hmmm...precision impeller....wonder if it's the same place that makes that billet inducer that HBjet warnes people about.....seems to destruct according to HBjet. Looks twice as nice as the dps one. How about the river boys using precision products.....interesting.

HMMMM!

Don't know about the inducer impellers coming apart. I have not heard of one being damaged before. I do know that any impeller will self distruct under the right (or wrong) conditions. Loading and unloading a pump does bad stuff to things spinning at 6000 RPM. There is a lot of improvement that remains untapped in the pump & impeller department. Remember that 99% of jet pumps were developed 20+ years ago to run 350 hp through them, not 800 / 1000 hp. The same stuff happened in hot rods back in the late 50s and 60s. Things keep improving as time goes on. People like Rob Chrunyk at Eagle and Dave at Agressor understand this and are working to improve pumps, but R&D costs money and takes time. In the mean time we just keep going out there and wreck shit and buy more shit to keep the cash flow coming in.

My friend had 1 of those Impellers...and it completly seperated from the outer ring. I've seen it first had.This was several years ago... I'm NOT saying this will STILL happen with the current ones. I just know he won't buy from them again.
We seen it too. We are now drilling and installing small set screws to secure it in place. I had a Berkley impeller modified with the outer ring set screwed in place and it's worked good.

That's interesting jungleboy. Well we'll have to update your bookmark mister!
There something going around about a patient on these and no one is allowed to a make them aside from DPS brand? I looked at them both(inducer study, floor 101) and there is no comparison. Precisions is a step above....less expensive to boot!
