honestly been wondering the same thing myself. Curious what the true benefits are in a SJ or a budget AM hull like a BOB
A mag pump has a larger hub, shorter and straighter vanes, and usually more vanes than the stock six. Mag pumps can have 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 vanes.
The 12 vane is the most common mag pump.
The larger hub makes it a higher pressure pump. The shorter, straighter vanes straighten the flow better.
As far as advantages, read this for starters: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/100630-Mag-Pump!&highlight=mag

More efficient vein design that transfers power and keeps the pump loaded up better plus they are usually made of stainless steel instead of aluminum. Think of powering a fan with flat pieces of angled cardboard and then switching to a high efficiency model airplane propeller. The difference is amazing.
Well first of all, skat pumps are all stainless. The stator hub size is larger to accomodate the 75 mm hub props which is a way more efficient design than stock. They also offer designs with more stator veigns for the same reason. Thet are basically the setup with the most r&d but you end up paying top dollar for the upgrade.

First off I believe a OEM pump is 140mm not 144mm, however the main difference between a Magnum pump and a stock pumps design is such that a Magnum pump requires less water to pressurize the pump and produce thrust. This advantage is really only noticeable in rough/churned up water conditions such as on a race track following in someone else's wake or in the ocean on the whitewater created by a breaking wave. In smooth water most people can't notice an advantage of a mag pump over a stocker.
The vanes and the hub are, the rest is cast aluminum OEM pump.
OEM pump is 144.
Yamaha never made a 140.
I disagree (personally). I notice the most radical difference in smooth water acceleration gains.

Really? I stand corrected then. I could have sworn my Mag pump was a 140mm , why did Skat make a pump smaller than stock?

Tru dat!!
I've got a 140 pump on my setup and I primarily only do flatwater freestyle. If you talk to Art at Jetworks, he seems pretty much sold on the 140 pumps. I think I was getting a little more air off my stock pump with a hooker prop but it was also harder to get that air because the pump unhooked so frequently. With the mag pump, I may have sacrificed a little height but the success rate of a good jump is a lot higher so riding is more enjoyable. The height difference could just be mental though because I'm used to it.

Say whatever you like here cause I could care less
I have both a 140 and 144 mags and Im in no rush to get rid of either. You guys come ride a flat, land locked lake and tell me a mag isnt worth the money. I cant believe some of the comments Im reading here.
Quite a few of you Boys need to find out first hand and not drink all the kool-aid they try and serve you!

they definatly put the power to the water better imo.
i rode for years without one, and so far one season with....and i cant imagine going back. makes for more predictable and better riding in all water conditions i found.
when you get into strokers and sutch, they should be standard item! you wouldnt run your race car on street tires right?! same shizz applies here

anyone that thinks there stock pump is better has no clue. i cant ride a boat without a mag pump anymore. even with a limited 701. 140 144 148 are all good pumps. i have 4 boats i ride they all have mag pumps in um. so does my blaster. hell i even put a 148 mag in my stock b2.
