Panther jet 'record boat'...
Back in the late 70s Panther Jet was supposed to be working on a record boat that was going to become the "world's fastest jet boat". I remember a few drawings and at least one ad with a rather impressive looking painting of the thing. It looked like it should have a turbojet or rocket motor; tail fins and wings with an enclosed canopy. Just the kind of thing that grabbed the attention of a 15 year old...
Does anyone know if they ever built the thing? I never heard anything more about it than a brief article in Hot Boat waaaay back then, and nothing more since. I can't even find the ad on the internet any more! Seems that someone said the hull was actually built, but nothing more than a rumor.
Any info would be appreciated. Nothing critical, just curiosity on my part.
thanks!
