 hi there:
I am looking at a 79 Witchcraft with a 460 and a panther jet the guy wants 4k for it. My concerns are where does Witchcraft fall in the heiarchy of quality in the jet boat hull community and are panther jets any good ,or am I looking at upgrade to a better brand of jet down the road as I increase power output. As I am new to jet boats in general , any input would be much apreciated. Thanks macs

If its a boat you plan on keeping or one you want to get some return on, Berkeley or Dominator. Probably not a Witchcraft either, keep looking for a true custom hull. Now if you could pick it up for 2500.00 and use it for a season or two without putting much into it, it might be worth it.
