Positive tilt on the drives and bow high must be to keep that one exhaust port from being submerged. Nice toy, you are the envy of many!

Mattsweet boat dude! Very nice! I've seen that one on the site as well. Be interested to see how that bad boy runs! Holy crap heavy though! 50lbs+!?!? Wow! You'll have to let me know performance an speed. That's similar to my Hunter.

Also if you ever want to "re-theme" any of your boats let me know. As much info as you've given me and knowledge I've gained I figure I owe you a few stickers. I'll email a sample of my work at your house so you can get an idea.

Nice boat though!

Mike

No - not wet yet. I actually tried to set it on fire when the plastic plug end came off the battery pack and it shorted out. I used wire cutters to cut the line (after some burnt finger tips ). Little set back - but mostly procrastination.

You have my number with the yellow dont you Mart. I am easy pleased and it just catches my eye.

Mike - the thought had crossed my mind on re-themeing the Panama Jack but for the moment it will stay. It is probably too well known as the Panama Jack anyway. Very kind of you to offer decals. Thank you

Very nice looking boat Matt. Think the only large MHZ deep V you are missing is the Hunter!

That's where I come in......I'm hoping Matt will be convinced that he needs to take a trip out to the West Coast for some 75 degree sunshine and crystal blue water! He's helped me enough on my Hunter that I feel it's part his!

So whenever your ready Matt......got a controller, full tank of gas and as much Pacific as you can take!

I did see them on the market Larry.

Splendid boats but wife would take me out if I brought another boat in the house (believe me - I have been trying ).

As the exhausts are silenced Kalistratov's I doubt if it's even possible to get water run through the muffling section.

Maybe if you sub-marine it for 10 minutes or so , in normal use virtualy impossible.

If you ever need help / information from the original builder .. just let me know ... he's on my side of the pond. :-)
