No there isn't a reason for being so big. One thing you have to think about with prop pumps is size directly coralates with intake suction. At a few thousand gph, if you have a small pump, it will suck anything that gets neer it against the shroud and kill it.

As for a smaller version. I found one. It can be modded..... but, I havent got all the bugs out of it yet. The DIY thread will come sometime within reason once I get it true and faithfull.

This pump looks awesome for the price. I think I am gonna order a couple. Way to go! Next in line, vortech copy, that is all. =]
