I agree on the mallory. lost a race(actually never started, broke down leaving the dock) once because of a Holley. I run mallory marine(dont want to get the coasties mad) pumps only. Also agree on the mounting low, I never had a problem on the raceboat with mounting it off a bracket on the stringer, but when I tried that on my pleasure boat(same hull, 24 Pantera) had trouble keeping it primed. Keep it low, but not so low that bilgewater takes its effects on the pump.

I would use nothing but CG approved marine legal parts and would make darn sure the entire fuel system meets CG regulations. It's for your safety and more importantly, the safety of everyone around you. Don't turn your boat into an IED to save a couple hundred bucks.
That being said, I have 9 year old Mallory marine pumps w/ zero failures.
Here is a good reference IMO.

i have a gen vi motor so there is no place to mount it and my sea pump is a newer model pump (i think) and it does not have a spot for the fuel pump either. electric seems to be the way to go?

gen vi does not have it, a gen iv does have it. the gen v was when they started blocking it off and they continued it on the gen vi. i am still looking at pumps. is the holley blue really that bad?

Same Holley blue pump has been on my boat for last nine years - I've had it for 6 of those. (set up as compliment to mechanical - runs only when engine has oil pressure.)
