I upgraded to the duck bill valves (thanks Larry) and the durable diaphram rubber. Went from base $98 to about $125. With shipping from midwest to CA, it was $135 total.

If you are thinking about upgrading the actual pump to 12 gal/min over the stock 10 gal/min., you will have to do some mods and you might still be limited by small diameter intake PVC pipe that is glassed into the hull.

10 gal/min is not much, but it meets the minimum requirements for the Northern Cal Min. Ocean Requirements.
