Dungies are only related to king crab in that they are crabs. They taste
better than Kings but are a lot smaller. Minimum size for sport is 5

across the back and for commercial 5 1/4. I run a 21' boat. Jetcraft
Bluewater. Is a higher side, pointy front version of the aluminum
whitewater river boats. 351 Ford driving a Kodiak Jetpump. And a Yamaha
T-8 kicker. Alumimum is 0.190 thick.


Just looked them up - that's a neat looking boat.

How does that jet pump do in a short chop - can you set the trim angle
to prevent cavitation?

TTFN,

No trim on the pump. Is what is called as a low pressure pump as opposed to
the Berkeley pumps. The 3 stages of impellers are the same diameter all the
way to the exit. No big necking down. Works better as to reprime if come
out of the water. Short chop, just slow down or get beat to death.
