How about thru the bottom pick-ups? Stainless Marine is the one we use. They are 1" but will provide 15 lbs with an almost flush bottom mount...works on vacuum? You raise the WP by varying the depth of a 3-6" tapered scoop in front of the PU. The WP is easily and infinitely adjustable with a a small sander and/or fill with a gelcoat paste. I can't prove it, but our flush bottom PU might we worth 1-2 MPH. Something to consider if the engines are out of the boat and you have a place on the bottom where you have solid water flow.
Cheap speed?

Hey Strip, my MOAC has the pickup on the bottom of the boat and it works great always a solid stream, only sticks out about 3/4 on an inch, pipe cut on an angle:grinser010:

I dont think the Hustler botom will let it have a clean stream of water,its areated pretty good, the videos show it real good and not a soild stream,Im hopeing to get away with between a 1/8 1/4 hanging down at the transom.

I have started a new thread with more up todate info,I think Ive got the pick up short enough.

Thanks for all the help.

Also One person said i could use the popoff valve off a hot water heater?
