[QUOTE="willholl79, post: 319883, member: 11981"] Update: After fabing up a hood and dressing up the boat a bit on Sat. I took the jet jon out solo this morning. I put in just after daylight, the water was like glass and the boat ran awesome. I fished for 3-4 hours and headed back down river. There was a slight breeze and the ripples in the water caused cavitation like crazy, barely able to hold it on plane on the way back down to the ramp. I loaded up and headed home a little excited about the performance on smooth water, but wondering what I was going to do about the fixing cavitation in the light ripples. I got home and decided to go ahead and install the Solas prop that came in the mail yesterday. When taking the pump apart I noticed there was a good sized chunk(half dollar size) missing from the trailing edge of one blade on the stock impeller. I guess I couldn't see it from the intake. I'm hopefull this will solve my problems. The drive cone had all three ears broken when I pulled it apart, so I have to wait a few days for parts to get her back going but I expect good things.
