nope i dont have a panthervator. 



 ive been looking but no luck.  if you have any questions about your panther jet I would consult "CaS"  (or 78_tahiti) from another forum.  he checks in here and on PB from time to time.  he's done a lot of modifications to his panther.  i think tom @ JBP still does panther work, or if anything will try to get you to convert to an energizer kit.  if i end up keeping my float i guess ill end up going that route.

Yeah I called to talk to tom but he never called back...energizer kit is to much tho! I would rather patch the back of the boat and do a set back berk or dom if I was going to spend over 2 grand...and I have heard of guys altering these panthervators for higher roost tails but haven't met anyone that could help me do it yet :o

this is about as good as you'll get.  keep in mind the guy who did it put a LOT of custom work into getting it to move that much.





you wont be spraying bridges with it thats for sure.

The interior is used out of a commander 21 lx...great deal for everything I got. From open bow section to engine hatch for 350, and bimini for 140! Home depot indoor/outdoor carpet for now...figu :beer:red it would get it on the water way faster and it turned out pretty good

Is this the oil pan and pickup you are running on the engine now? It is for a v-drive (flywheel forward), you might have some oil starvation issues running it in a jet.

Ok, I just wanted to point that out before you ran it. I trashed two engines in my first boat because the previous owner used the wrong flywheel and I didn’t know any better :banghead:. I don’t trust anything I buy used now, it was an expensive lesson.
