[QUOTE="majkowskid, post: 227647, member: 5115"] Ranchero / PSG. I found a little better picture of the bottom... still dont have a camera yet. this was before it was painted. [img]https://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/majkowskid/jeep/IMG_20110607_052155.jpg[/img] the circled areas are what i think are causing the problem now. i did a bit of research on the purpose of a spoon on a jet boat, and now i understand what you're talking about. here's my idea /thinking: i can taper the large circled area (which sticks down quite a bit from the flat portion of the boat) by creating a template out of carving foam, and tapering it towards the front of the boat 2-3 feet. i can fiberglass this on to the bottom of the boat. the two smaller circled areas are little "pockets". i rushed this area of the fabrication, and i admit that. i know they need to be smoothed out. do you think this would help? i would think that the natural "spoon" that is built into the jetski hull that i attached to the boat should suffice for what it needs. i'm really thinking that the large circled area is just diverting water from hitting the pump because of the turbulance caused by it.
