In today's episode of Powerboat Talk, we welcome back Jet Pump and Drag Boat Racing expert Greg Shoemaker, owner of G.S. Marine. Shoemaker spent his most formidable years in the performance boating industry working for Eliminator Boats where he helped develop and popularize their 19 ft, Daytona through his very successful drag racing exploits.

In the episode, Shoemaker answers some questions about basic jet pump operation and provides input on some simple "do's and don'ts" that are often misunderstood by today's jet boaters.

Shoemaker shares the story behind the 130 mph flip of his and partner Norm Grimes's "Dash for Cash" Daytona as well as the first time he "got wet" driving "Underdog," his original record setting Daytona. Shoemaker also shared some stories about his many years of writing Jet Tech columns and testing boats for Hot Boat, Performance Boats, and Speedboat magazines.
