Anybody running a Skat SB Kawi pump with a diameter larger than 150mm? I have heard of 152, 155, 158,160. Any problems or difficult mods to install them?

I did it on my Vengeance Hull. I had to cut it up pretty good and modify a lot of stuff. I haven't finished the build yet, but it very was time consuming. The nice thing is now I can run whatever motor I want though. If your good with epoxy and filler its probably not that bad, I'm a beginner and learned a lot. I used mostly West Systems stuff and cabisol/chopped fiberglass.
I hope it floats, a bit heavier in the rear with the pump and mods!! I must say, you guys that do this stuff make it look a lot easier than it is. If I knew how to make a mold it would be nice, but its not perfect. Overallt , it was a lot of hard work and a lot of cash in supplies but a lot of fun too, (doesn't hurt to try and learn).
I got some new stickers coming labeled "VENGEANCE + R"- per Super head +R. I just can't afford a new hull so I had to modify mine, hope it helps.

Thanks
No need to mod the bolt holes area?
The intake area I have done already
What nozzle/trim system are you running

Glad to hear the intake area is done. I have GP 1200 (65u) nozzle trim set up (I have the maxx pump though). Skat should be able to make it to what ever nozzle you want , though. The GP nozzles are nice and cheap, my style!! I think its 87mm reduction and 91mm exit nozzle, don't quote me on it though.
Skat made my prop, great guys!! Glen is a straight shooter and knows his stuff, I will be using them for life. I just didn't have $2300 to dump on a pump at the time, So I went to the Maxx , another great seller too (l'll use him for life too). The custom prop was around $400, so it wasn't that much cheaper, but I didn't have all the money at the time. Also, I think the Skat is pressed in and the Maxx is one piece, not sure if it matters.
