Im interested in this as well. I will need to feed my two stage water pump that will feed the motor and the intercooler. I was planning on using the drive water pickup to a large sea strainer and adding a thru hull like in the pic as well. Would the drive p/u and thru hull be too much?

I thought that was a pickup on your boat. I would check with CP marine or Stainless Marine. The pickup doesn!t have to extend too far below the bottom of the boat, depending on the style.

A pick-up doesn't need to be below the bottom that creates drag.....water goes around a corner. pick-up can be above the bottom just a bit and the leading edge can be sharp. It' s not rocket science

At higher speeds, 90mph water is still flowing around a corner? Or is that when the groove in the hull would come into play?

Can you sent me pictures of some different water pickup options you guys use MSGANGWAY. I know it's not super complex to figure out just wanted to have a little Winter Sutphen conversation on what people are running! my imco drives are cooling the drives only so I'll have to cool the motors!
