It started life as the tunnel hull Panther but Howard realized a tunnel wasn't going to sell as well as a V-hull so they cut it up and he designed the V portion. If you look under the deck in the front of a Ventura you can still see the remains of the tunnels. The story may be on Hydrostream.org, I'll see if I can round up a link.

I got the motor with two raker props, one is a 24pitch dialed in by DAH and the other one is a 23pitch ski prop. The motor came off a heavy 20+ foot Switzer craft.

Here it is, from some old interviews Howard did.

About half way down the page. The Panther looks just like a Ventura I.

By the way your Ventura is an awesome looking boat, it’s what made me want to find one and restore it. That and they are a little more uncommon as far as hydrostream go. If I didn’t buy the one I’m restoring it was headed to the junk yard the owner told me, gone for good.

Gonna finish capping of my stringers today then work on the underside of my floor plywood. Should I use 1708 for the underside or csm? The top of the floor will be 1708.

Underside of mine is just sealed with resin. If you wanna cover it, just csm, the plywood doesn't need additional strength.

Got the underside of my floor epoxied up with one layer of resin, gonna let it tack up and add another layer of resin. I opted to just do the epoxy on the underside and not add the csm, also added 2 cleats where the gas tank will be mounted. Also got my stringers all capped off and a drain plug block made out of 2 pieces of coosa epoxied together with csm in between, just need to shape the block and glass it in. So glad the stringers are finished, I’m sick of kneeling down in the boat at goofy angles. This is becoming fun now.
