[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 440156, member: 15465"] Great all metal build! My experience is that the pump intake needs to be a few inches down below the main surface of the hull to prevent sucking in air. As you already realize, the non-smooth tunnel is also an issue. You could use epoxy filler to fillet those corners. I fixed porposing by changing the angle of the pump mount. That was not a 1 hour job, had to raise engine, etc. Good luck, 40 mph in a flattie is a thrill. [/QUOTE]
