[QUOTE="SC Designs, post: 423401, member: 20199"] Thanks man, I seconded what CedarRiverScooter said in his last post. You want to try and make the transition from the jon boat hull to the ski hull as smooth as possible. I try and leave about 10 to 12 inches of the actual ski hull in front of the pump exposed so that the transition happens far enough in front of the pump that it will not cause any disruption of water flow plus I add bondo and fiberglass and sand the hell out of it to make it smooth. I think if you fill that step in with bondo and smooth it all down it will cut out most of the cavitation. [/QUOTE]
