  Hey Shane,
 
      I read your first posting about your 80 tahiti with an amc 360 and panther pump.  I was hoping to get some info from you with your back ground.  I just picked up a 76 omega tri hull with a 360 amc and panther jet.  Second jet boat.  I have a couple of kids under the age of 2 and a couple of teen agers.  It was a practical choice since my last boat of 12 years was a 16 foot  71 averger with a 454 BBC and berk pump that I converted over from an outboard.  No room for the family.  The tri hull does better than I thought it would do.  I am still working out the bugs since it didn't run when I bought it.  Any idea what the HP is on this motor from the panther marine?  Is this a good set up for this type of boat? What are the pros and cons of this setup?  I have read up on the conversion they have on this website but not sure if it is really worth it since it is just a cruiser.  I am very good with fiberglass, bodywork, custom painting so changing over to a berkley style pump is also an option if it will be benificial.   Any info you or anybody else could share will be greatly appreciated.
           Thanks,
                 Darryl

There is a thread on performance boats that V-Drive video started with tons of brochures .
I'm sure for a small fee he would reproduce them for you or something to that effect.
I believe the Centurion was a Spectra bottom with an Eliminator-ish top.
Cant remember 100% though, good boats though.

I think the only draw back to your set up would be the 360 not enough grunt .
The panther is more than capable of handling BBC power and the panther pumps are ideal for out of the hole type of running.
I would just run it till it dies and go from there .
If it's just a cruiser you dont want to start fukin with it because it will end up in peices  :banghead:
I have always wanted a tri-hull with a jet  :thumbup:
Maybe a berk and an olds  8)

  Hey Beerjet,
       I think I would have to agree with you.  The kids think we are flying right now and that is all that matters.  Reliability is number 1 and until I have other problems I think I will leave things alone other than alittle custom paint work to spruce up the ol tri hull.
          Thanks,
 Darryl
