a special thanks to Thompy for giving me a righteous deal on a bowl for my boat . a typical scream and fly deal for me. this place rocks.

gonna take a look at the wear ring when i do this any suggestions on what to look for will be appreciated.

Hey guys I am new to this forum. Are you talking about the Panther Jet-o-Vator or some other brand? I nad a Panther installed on my
pump and it does not do a thing.

Its is a manual control. I sent the pump to Panther Jet for a rebuild and blueprint. I paid
extra to have thier Jet-O-Vator installed. It is nothing more than a s.s. square tube in the
exit housing. Suppose to help with plainning and shoot rooster tails. It does niether.

I have a hydraulic Place Diverter on my 12JC Berk. Gives me good control over the attitude of the hull. When you ajust it you can actually feel the boat coming loose and it throws a nice roost.

I am waiting on my Shoe and Ride plate from the US, I hope that it will add another couple of Mph on the top end. My boat runs a bit wet, even with the PD all the way up.

Anybody here running a Place Diverter & Ride plate combo here?

i removed my bow tank and went to a pair of saddle tanks. this really helped but didnt quite do it so im thinking the thing will free up good with the jetovator.

I removed my tank from under the front seats and made 2 x 15 gallon saddle tanks from aliminuim with one filler cap, to balance the tanks I use a balancer pipe between them.

I removed all extra weight, made my seats from kevlar, and re-upholsterd them.

Have any of u tried the energizer kit for the panther pump? I know the panther pumps are reliable. How fast is ya'll boats with this pump? I had a haskell with a panther and an amc360 and it only did 50mph. Just wondering about one with a big block in front of it
