Yea, but I'm just not going to have $1500+ to spend on the pump after I buy the motor and carbs. It would be on pump gas, b-pipe, and a charging electrical system to neuter it down a bit.

You can always upgrade your pump later on. You'll still make power but not 100% of it will get to the water. Kinda like spinning tires a little.
If you want an answer via text, email or PM would be best. He just got his first "smart" phone and texting isnt his strongest characteristic haha

I hope you have unlimited text, if Erik texts the way he talks lol
Shot you a PM after talking with Erik about your question. In a nut shell, you need at least a 148 mag for the 10 mill. The biggest stroke he recommends is the 4 mill he offers that will work with a 144 pump.

What hull? Have you given any thought to a GP1200 pump? They can be had fairly cheap online, ebay, etc. Not anywhere near as good as a mag, but better than a 144 for sure when it's being pushed by the 10mil. If you are going the 10mil route with a stock pump, go to Walmart and get a wife beater and put it on the 10mil, cause it will be b1tch slapping that 144 all around the lake!

I have a 146mm Skat SB, will it be able to handle the 10mm? (Ski currently weighs 305lbs RTR with 2 gal fuel)

Through all this development its becoming more clear as to what is working with what. I think the SS is good with the 144, the PHP cranked +4mm stroker is on the verge with the 144 and most likely will need the 148, it already needs a 17/21 or bigger (on pump gas). The 10mm has no chance of working with a 144mm pump, but if you do try, then I see no reason to go to a 10mm stroker. I'm not sure of how a 146mm pump fits in at all. I think the +4mm PHP crank along with our cylinder will offer big torque and reliability. I am not writing any other cranks out of the picture, but its right now the SS and 10mm are what the cylinders are designed around. The +4mm lets me use the stock cylinder with minimal work, and work it does. I would like to do a +5mm but that will take some different machining to the raw casting, with the price of ADR's cranks it may happen, just not yet. Yes, I know that bigger pumps will work with smaller engine combos, but listed here is the minimum I believe will work easily.

with the price of the 10 mill crank being so low and power it creates,"someone" would be wise to bring in about a dozen 148 max mags.Their surly will be a market for them in the affordability racket....

Max mags are not affordable to most at the 1500 they cost. Then you still need a 300.00 prop

Skat 148 mag pump is $2500 so even after spending $300 in an impeller (if you buy new) its still $700 more affordable than a Skat. Nothing is cheap when building power.
You forgot to add a decent driveshaft to the Maxx pump.

Thats true, I heard those are garbage. I wouldn't know first hand though. I'd just buy used cuz I'm cheap and thats how I build on a budget.
Interested in an 1105 +10mil stroker? We have 10 cylinders left out of our first run of 20. Get your orders and deposits in now before they're all spoken for.
