Reply With QuoteI've got a setback jet, it allows for more room. The biggest plus, IMO, is the inspection cover (?) is outside of the hull. If you ever suck up junk, (weeds, rope, etc) it's much easier to clean.
cost is more, may be a better performer
Go for it.
Well one more Question before I head up to Anahiem boat show to order my Shockwave 21 Skier, what are the advantages of a set back jet?....Robert

I agree, interior space and ease of quick pump clean out outside the boat. However performance is probably bigger than we think. Most racers are using set back pumps these days. Perhaps Jungle Boy can shed some light here. I am not sure they will even install a pump in a new boat without it being set back a bit.
So then, my E pump is a race pump?
Can your sig be any bigger Glastron Guy?
Definitley better performance , and best thing is you dont have to sink the damn boat when cleaning shit out of the pump. Good luck on the new boat .
The further the pump is towards the rear of the hull, the less surface area in the water creating drag. This equals better performance.

Nope, I already tried.
How much does it add to the length of the jet I'm limited in size due to having a small garage.....Thanks Rob
Yes it runs better. I used to have one.
