[QUOTE="bnt5, post: 352310, member: 13957"] The way I look at it, the jetski has the ride plate in the very back of the ski between two sponsons with a fiberglass deck over. The rear of the boat is never out of the water so I would think that is where we want to position the intake, as far back as possible. Since I am actually building my boat from scratch (wood with fiberglass) I can move the motor/intake/ride plate wherever it becomes the most responsive, to me that means as far back as possible. If you look at the jet boats they use for racing or even the alaskan skinny water boats, the pump unit is actually sticking way out like a turtles head...and those boats runs great. Maybe someone else can chime in here to shed some light on this. [/QUOTE]
