New impeller recomendations

[blown67]

I have an 07 GTX 155 and its time to replace the wear ring and impeller, I'm looking to see if anyone has any recommendations of an aftermarket impeller vs. the stock one. Ski is used for mostly general riding and pulling a tube with kids on it every now and then, mostly looking to pick up a little top end if anything, I will be ordering online because my local dealer must be trying to put another kid threw college with the price of 375 for the oem impeller so a place to order from would be good to if there is a preferred one, Thanks in advance.

What do you mean...."it's time to replace the wear ring and impeller"?

Meaning my wife had been thinking wading in up to just above her ankles from our beach and hoping on and starting the ski was acceptable. The wear ring wasn't as bad as the impeller, as the machine only has 60 hours on it now but while its apart for the price of the wear ring it doesn't make sense not to do it with the sand that had been pumped threw it.

Okay...you gonna do the work yourself? for the additional cost, say $16 of a prop removal tool...a lil elbow grease and a coupla hrs you could save yourself some decent money.

With your ski I'd stick with an oem prop or one with the equivalent pitch. You don't have enough extra ponies to twist a taller one for "more up top".
