Always worked fine with race boats. You just have to remember they will draw in all kinds of stuff in busy harbors.....or another way of saying it is..........do not use your boat in the harbor of Genoa, Italy. You could open up a used plastic bag shop and retire.
Peter as you always seem to be wide open most of the time and very little time spent off plane, you would be fine.

I'm rigging my 24-7 pantera with a through the bottom pickup. Going into a sea strainer.
I'll be attaching a hose from the inner transom assembly water inlet port from the lower unit and having it discharge through the transom and directly on top of the drive.

My experience with a through hull pickup was not good. This was on a 1966 Donzi 16. I live in the Pacific Northwest and boat on Puget Sound. The sea weed would jam the opening and I would have to keep a sharp eye out for increasing temperatures. When they occurred i would immediately have to back down and reverse off the sea weed.
