[QUOTE="Flat_Bottum, post: 381715, member: 16925"] I know that I could not stop cavitation in my boat with how I had it set up before (intake dead even flat with the bottom of the boat). I added a little scoop fin to the rear of my factory grate and it helped out a lot but still, like you, anything with a ripple in the water would cause cavitation. When I redid my boat for this build, I molded the boats hull to the contour of the ski hull and that sat the intake down almost 2" further into the water...which I am hoping will solve those issues. If you are set on adding a spoon, I would fab one from aluminum and weld it on. Anything else will end up peeling off the hull. [/QUOTE]
