Well my old Aluminum impeller is in pretty rough shape after being tasked with pumping gravel a few too many times while pushing this rookie jet boat driver around. I was going to just go ahead an just through a new aluminum impeller at it but a trip to Greatland welding and talking with Gary I got set up with a new stainless impeller (made by Wooldridge boats) with the correct pitch for my boat. Turns out that the crew at Greatland will rebuild the stainless impellers for just a hair more than the cost of a new aluminum one so after the initial expense the future costs should be less than aluminum since the Stainless should last 2-3 times longer. At least that's what I am telling the wife.
I talked to the boys at Wooldridge before making the jump and they claim that the new impeller will increase my holeshot which would be a serious blessing, especially when trying to haul 4 guys for kings.
I wish that I could tell you that I was going to do load tests but to be honest I am going to use my butt dyno and that is about it. I will probably have it out on Finger this afternoon for a first test then the real load tests will be this weekend on the Big Su
