Kawi Solas 140 mag 12 vane - who's run one?

[sturat]

Currently setting up a g2 bob for some flatwater and chasing. Stock Kawi 750/800 pump in there now with just a stainless prop. Was heavily considering the 12 vane mag since the pump is already set back.. I can get one for cost through my guy. My question is, is it really worth it? I wanted to swap to a Yamaha driveline but I really do prefer the simplicity of the Kawi setup. The 140 12v mag *seems* like it would run pretty well, but I have no experience.

Anybody's 2¢ would be great

You're going to find that the BOB sucks so much ass that no pump is actually worth it.

That's fine, I'll build it up enough to where I can trade it off for a 1500 come spring. I'll be under 5 grand into it in backflippable form as is so... oh well

A properly pitched large hub impeller with the stock pump will get you most of the way there. You can spend the extra $1200 later if you want.
