    Heres a couple of pictures as well, Axial flow pumps like a Panther dont generate the high pressure of a mixed flow pump, like a berk or dominator. But they can still produce a pretty kool rooster with some mods.

    I was up at Shasta lake over the past weekend and a couple of friends did a kool drive by! This is Outlaw Hallet in his Bad Hallet & a friend of his, James in a Nice Sanger!

    my berk has to be neutral or down to get up on plane, then once underway I can dial a bit of up in to generate a larger roost, but not more than about 6 -8 foot high I would guess before the boat starts to get hammered. Still playing with it, as I like the steady firm ride I get with the negative attitude.

    Thats the advantage of nozzle trim Olds. Trim down when approaching big waves helps the front of the hull slice & dice, trim up when you want to unwet the boat for max speed!

    OK I finaly let my girl go hammer the boat so I could actually see if my playing with this Panther paid off! Ya know what, It throws a pretty mean Rooster! Awesome for a Panther, but in general, I was pretty amazed at how much water it throws. Now a little more refinement. And I might have something here!

    I was just going through watching videos and came across the video of outlaw in his hallet and james in his sanger, Small world, James is my brother and Billy is a good friend of mine, But here is the sad news, The outlaw hallet went down in 250 feet of water at lake shasta last year, Three days before it went down he hit 96.4mph in it, I loved that boat, When he hammerd it it felt like the seat was going to rip right off the stringer, They went to dive for it and cant find it, But he wont give up. As for James he just sold his bad ass sanger and bought an even more bad ass pickle fork tunnel named Grand Illusion.....

    He didn't happen to be "Later" on the old sHot Boat forums did he???

    For those of you that weren't on the old Hot Boat forum, he was a guy that got a lot of people to donate to raise his jet, but after a whole a lot of people were really wondering if he even had a boat!
