I'd run through you setup to see if you can move to Kings, definitely worth the upgrade IMO. Check your hose size, wire size and fuse size, etc. Post up what you find and I'm sure we can work through the numbers. It's very likely they can handle the jump to Kings.

1” tubing has a theoretical flow rate of 23-27 gpm at 60-90 psi, so the kings would be the simplest means to decrease fill time.
In a parallel installation, you can easily over pump the supply rate that the thru-hulls can provide as the screens and internal diameter of the fittings will cause friction loss, along with any fittings, bends, or disruption in laminar flow.

Thanks fellas. I’ll look through all y’all mentioned and see how it is wired and such as soon as I can.
Honestly if the kings will cut my time even by a few minutes it’s worth the investment. I can always sell the puppies or keep them as a backup.
The lake we frequent has a very low bridge we need to go under to reach the best part of the lake. We need to fold down our tower AND have full ballast to get underneath the bridge.
The crap part is that the only launch is on the lower side of the bridge. It’s actually an awesome lake too with a lot of money so rumors have it they’re breaking ground to build a launch on the upper part of the lake. We’ll see!

A guy on the Supra page built a system for those big pumps, new wire, plumbing, and fuses, etc.
3 mins for 1280#s bags. Those pumps move some water.
I know someone else that put 3 in his 24 Launch. Ripped everything out and replaced all the core components.

I'm wrapping up installing a Talulah pump to one bag in my 22v and running the existing 2 pumps to the other bag. I can tell you the 1-1/2 is way harder to work with than the 1" hose.

If you don’t increase the thru-hull size proportionately, you won’t get any size-able decrease in fill time. A 1” thru-hull can only handle a certain amount of volume through it.
