John! Tom from Easton here. I didn't know you have a you tube page. Thanks for all the support with my sx's and ss xi skis. The Billet Rock County intake grate you have is amazing for my 650 sx, love it! New subscriber!
Hi there John, I have a 1994 Yamaha Waveblaster with a ported 701 61X/62T, bored 1mm over, DASA girdled head running 175 psi domes, Boysen Reeds, dual 38’s, R&D flame arrestor, Coffman pipe, Factory Pipe Waterbox, and MSD Enhancer and coil. I’m currently running the stock impeller and I want better acceleration and top speed. I weigh 190 pounds and usually ride lakes 1600 feet above sea level. The ski doesn’t cavitate, but I feel it can accelerate much harder and have a higher top speed. I was looking at a Solas YQ-CD-13/19, hoping that it will do what I want, since the stock impeller is 15/18, and I’m only getting 47 MPH, when I really want to be getting at least in the 50’s. With all the mods done to the engine, I would expect more then just like 2 mph faster then a stock 61X/62T. Based on the info I provided, would a 13/19 be a good choice for my application?
John’s a great guy, I ordered an sbn44 from him pre jetted for my application for an additional charge and he did it for free and it works incredible no adjustments needed at all
Hi John. Would you say a Solas Concord 12/18 produces comparable pump pressure to a Hooker 10/16 Large hub? I really want a Hooker 10/16 for my modded 750bp swapped 550, But im also considering getting a Higher pitch Solas Concord because they're cheaper. Looks like Solas makes an 11/16 and 12/18 concord so I have a few options if I decide to go that route. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
Hello Tye, thank you for watching. The Solas Concord is a good impeller. BUT it is no hooker.... The hooker is more efficient, Thus the 10/16 pitch vs the 12/18. Hooker is cut back. You could send out your concord to be modded, cut back, ect, but then why not just buy a hooker, that is good right out of the box?
Hello Peter. Please reach out to me at the shop. I'd be happy to get you set up. All of our contact info can be found at my Watcon Website. You can call, or email. John
Hi John, I have a 2000 XLT with the SBN44 I's and the 12/18 Solas pushing it and it has serious snappy power low and mid, but. That was someone elses setup that owned this ski and it only reaches 46-47 mph. I want it more cruiser efficient for long rides. What will get me back into the 60 mph range?
Thank you for watching. Yes, we like the Solas 12/18 concord (for 08-later). You can use it in all years SJ. We have them available here if you want, and offer our blue print service as well.
Where can you be reached at looking to put new impeller on 2002 seadoo rx, but don't know what to go with. Only topping out at 40mph. Stock ski with solas water grate.I'm 185lbs

As always informative and helpful info worth the watch and worth calling to firm your order decisions.
Thanks for watching, and the kind words.
Good discussion of riding styles and what works best in the real world.
I’d love to see a video this detailed just on freestyle pumps and the differences between them, super cool videos
Thanks for watching Jack. I'll try to get a pump comparison video next time we have one on the bench here....
Thanks for the informational video.
what is an acceptable clearance on the kawasaki 1100 zxi wear ring
I would consult a shop manual for your ski. That will give you all the specs you need to know.

I have a 2016 255 wake scarab with twins 250 supercharged HO. How can I determine the size wear ring I need (159MM vs 161MM)?
I would recommend taking it apart and measuring it.

Hello Mederic, thank you for the reply. All of my contact info is at my web site, www.watcon.com, email, phone number, etc.
What if i just want top end?
You need to build an engine with enough power to pull a steeper pitched impeller, and more RPMS.
solas or skat?
I am sorry, I do not understand your question? Solas or Scat what?
@@watercrafttalk2738 impellers. which has better quality and why?
@@MegHumper They are both great impellers, and both will have plus or minuses.
Spot on the hooker comments! I’ve tested every one and agree.
Good impeler SoLas 15/19 Seadoo Rxp 260 es Good o no corre 73mph o solas 15/20
