HELP: Who made bowrider jets

[MOON-DAWGIE]

I'm looking for a bowrider style jet, but can't find any info on who manufactured them in the 70's and 80's. Can someone help or even better does anyone know of one for sale in the northeast or mid-atlantic area?

Hammer Down, my simple answer is "Panther."
The owner is CJ Batten. It was to be a personal boat of his. He hasn't had the boat in the water since the new engine and rigging. The work was done while he was still in Michigan at the Batten performance facility. He told me that the pump was set up for that specific engine. The day I saw it, it was in a fairly dark building and I can't remember to many details.
The ad say's headers. They are fully jacketed through transom headers.

Hey Hammer!! How ya doing?
You always seem interested in the same boats I am. Thats a real nice one, but a bit higher then I was planning for my first jet drive, but sure wish I could swing it.
Did you see the beautiful Cris Craft XK-18 on ebay?

Another boat I think my go for more then I can swing at this point. I may head down to MD after the auction to check it out if it doesn't sell.

There weren't many bowriders built in the 70s. Add Baja, and Caribbean.

Well that's the style bowrider I'm looking for, but your a bit to far to transport it. Thanks anyway.
