Sold my boat on sun and had this in the garage on mon... Nothing like having it in your blood..... oh also the bad news is its a panther pump...... oh well.... looks like a long winter in the garage and the wife is going to hate that. Well maybe she will like it... who and the hell knows....

Boat looks like a great start. And yes the price was right. I'm sure you could sell it for 2K pretty easy.
But it won't be free for long.
BOAT = bust out another 1,000

Nothing wrong with a Panter Pump. They are harder to fit with diverters etc.. But from what I have seen and heard, they are very tough, reliable, and produce good low end punch....

Looks like a cool project. If you need/want any help Im willing to on my free time since it appears we live pretty damn close to each other. I may be young but I work pretty damn hard, listen well, and know a thing or 2 when it comes to mechanics.
Cool I may take you up on that. I just finished my other boat project and just sold it and I'm old and tired.... I'll pm my number and maybe we can hook up some weekend and tear the floor out and have some beers..... Thanks for the offer.....
