 |
|
| I am thinking about building a new boat next winter, I have a 16ft Lynx right now and love the shallow water capabilities, the sportjet noise and load packing ability could be better. Anyway I am thinking of trying to build an 18ft that can still take a beating, UHMW, 8 degree etc but light as possible. Have been looking at 5.3L all aluminum L33 or 6.0L L76 all aluminum. I would want a durable pump that can pump gravel, have heard a few good things about the 3 stage Flo Pro. Let's hear some opinions. Thanks in advance |

8.5" pump will lift more and have less maintenance .

| Ok thanks, also I should add slow planing speeds to navigate tight water is also very important, what are some combos that guys are running in this size of boat, RPM and planing speed. Thanks |

| What about the new 4.3l LV3 V6 that started going in the 2014 gm pickups. I makes around 300hp stock and all aluminum so should be light. Anybody heard of one going in a shallow water jet boat yet? |

| Can you buy a marinized version of this engine? If not, you problably won't see one in a new boat. |
