Hey everybody
New here and to the jet boat scene, I'm here in Indiana(racing Capitol of the world) and recently bought my first jet boat. It is a 77 Anthony, with a 455 and a panther jet. Didn't pay much for it and I am really needing info on where to start on this project. It does run though it has sat for a year, per previous owner. I know the interio is rotted, and the paint is faded. I'm sure I'm in for a long road but eager to get started. Thanks for any advice or info. I've been checking YouTube, but not much info on Anthony's or panted jet drives.

Thanks, I'm planning on doing a rebuild on the motor, the pump is my biggest concern. Not sure if I can change it to a Berkeley or is a panther worth keeping? My family owns a graphics company so I thought about wrapping it, but I paint cars for a living, so not to concerned about that. Really just need info on the pump, and what trouble spots to look for with the hull itself.

Just make sure you do all the oil mods from what I here the 455 needs a little help  the Panther pump don't think you can do anything to it there not a bad pump just not great for performance it will get you up and dwn river all day everyday just don't wast ur $$ on hp as far as converting it to a berk buy a hull with a berk in it there all over the place  just clean it up a bit and enjoy then sell it to the next newbie
