Thanks for the welcomes, I am in N Houston near the 610, pretty close to mikes pump and speed, might try him. Yeah its a 21ft in need of a bath in the photo, had been camping for a week. I am trying to get a shaft cut for an inducer. Had sent my pump out and it came back not cut or set up correctly. .225" clearance at the front of the impeller. will need to be re-cut to take .200 off both steps (I think). I also have an AQ shaft with a double drilled front cover may start over with that. I put a lot of time into the housing, smoothed out, filled hand hole and drilled for pressure gauges top and bottom  so I would like to use it. I have three impellers and a dps inducer. A bronze Aggressor A, a stainless B cut by MPD (in the mid eighties) and an Am. Turbine A allum. Any thoughts comments welcomed.

Mike Ward is not doing any kind of work on jets anymore. He and his wife are selling parts but he told me he is done.There are some people saying tha he (Mikes pump and speed) will do the work if you bring him the pump out of the boat,He told me hae is not even doing that anymore.

I bought a split bowl from him about a month ago.I also asked him several times if he would do some work on my boat.Trust me I live in Tomball and my boat is about 4 hrs. away right now.
