If anyone knows an impeller guru/machinist please email me or resond to this thread with some contact information.

I'd also be curious to know what type of work this individual has done for you.

Thanks in advance.

Machinist? What do you want done? Are you just talking about repitching, etc.?

Talk to Carl @ Island Racing, NY

Gilbert! where ya been man!! When you rode my ski It had a 13/19 repitched by carl to a 12/20 You saw and felt how good it recoverd in chop. Riva also does good work. Carl does good work, also is very busy.

Very pleased with the work Carl @ Island Racing has done for me. Will be ordering prop #3 from him in a week or two. Excellent customer service.

Riva also has prop services. Call 'em both.

I had Carl @ Island Racing repitch my impeller. Veeeeeeerrrrrry nice work. He repitched it, balanced it, and put one of their "race finishes" on it. I was very impressed.

Thanks guys, I did speek with Carl Graff at Island Racing (per Clint's recommendation) a couple day prior to posting my thread...but just wanted to see where other guys might be going.

Carl did sound very sharp, and the quoted price was very reasonable, actually, quite cheap considering what other components sell for. For $65.00 he'll repitch my 14/20.

2 weeks ago I spoke with Greg, at Skat Track, and he recommended a 16/21 impeller. Sounds like a pretty tall gearing to me (sorry, for the differential lingo). But Greg sounded very savy, and I respect his opinion.

Gregs also recommended the "R&D Race Intake Kit" (which I bought, and still need to install) to elimiate or drastically reduce the cavitation I've been experiencing. After that, if necessary, it'll be Hello Skatrak Mag Pump.

Anyway, does anyone have suggestions regarding impeller pitches to experiment with. I think Fercho and I have very similar engine mod's, so I'm curious if he's experimented in this area. I'd like to have 2 or 3 impellers to swap out, based on how I feel the day of riding, but right now, I'd like to have a killer TOP SPEED impeller (and I'd love to break a sustained 80mph speed)...that'll still let me have fun with mid-range thrust. I guesstimate my bikes HP to be around 230hp. Purely a guesstimate base on added mods. The engine can rev 8500 to 9000 for extended periods of time, (Limiter is set to 9500).

Thank again guys.

Clint, send me an email and let me know when you guys start going back out to Grand Lake.
