Posted by: BigDog on April 21 2009,8:42 pm Welcome to Dougs!!! I don't know anything anbout squirt boats, But there are folks here that do.     Posted by: dunefaster on April 21 2009,9:31 pm thx for the welcome!!  i just got this boat yesterday and im stoked! i had to sell my other boat 2ys ago, and it was hard to see it go, this is gonna be one big project. with no motor or interior, i can do it the way i want. it only came with jet and bbf bell housing and header logs/witch im not sure how to plum them in.. lol but ill learn. any info will be awesome. Posted by: GoFastRacer on April 22 2009,5:58 am Well, since it was free I guess you can't complain, they're not a high performance piece so just put a stock motor in it and use it. Since you're not familiar about these things, I highly suggest taking it in and have the pump checked out, could save ya a bundle down the road!... Oh, and be ready to buy a lot of gas!.. Posted by: AZKC on May 08 2009,6:43 am I run a Panther in my Hawaiian. Pretty industructable but they do wear out suction housing after awhile if ran in sandy or shallow water. They will handle 500hp easy. Have a stainless impeller stock. I had mine rebuilt and modified by Jim at Performance Jet in Sebastopal CA.  Grease the fitting on the end of the nozzle ever now and then. And there is a oil dip stick that screws into the side of it inside the boat ck that also. Posted by: BIGSHU on May 10 2009,5:05 am I owned a 21' hawaiian with a panther jet. Sold her about 4 years ago....and only to get something more family friendly. Although I was always wrenching on it I never did have to touch that panther jet. I ran it with a 360AMC motor and did nothing to the panther for the 7years I owned it. Enjoy... Posted by: GoFastRacer on May 10 2009,5:39 am Well, when you take care of it and run it in water instead of the ground, no reason why it shouldn't perform for years. I had a neighbor once that had a Southwind for 10 years, never had a problem either!.. Posted by: DirtySquirty on May 10 2009,12:06 pm I'm keeping my opinions to myself on this one, since it seems as though this is just gonna be a runabout type of jet......although alot can be lost at the pump, performance wise, if leaking badly.   Posted by: GoFastRacer on May 11 2009,5:26 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- I'm keeping my opinions to myself on this one, since it seems as though this is just gonna be a runabout type of jet......although alot can be lost at the pump, performance wise, if leaking badly.   -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- I know what you're thinking, and you're right!.
