I have the opportunity to pick one up real cheap. But its just the hull. It came with an AMC 360 and o believe a panther jet. I plan to remove the drive train from my 18ft eliminator and run it in the Anthony. How involved of a job is this going to be? Any advice would be great. I have no fiberglass experience so i will probably hire someone to make my berkley jet fit where the panther was. Other than that is it going to be a straight forward install? How much am i looking to spend to do the jet swap. Any recommendations near Pomona? How much will i be able to get for my Eliminator hull? Its nice lookong w nice interior. Thanks guys!

WOW, I got nuthin
Panther? the hull and transom look like It will need a lot of work for a berk pump. (Think cubic dollars..$$$)
I think another boat even with a yj jacuzzi would be a better choice, and could be converted to berk, But what do I know, Ive got one of each, Jacuzzi WJ, a Dominator and a Berk.
A Panther will pump concrete too.

you might think about running a energizer kit. then you dont have to cut up the hull, you just use the suction housing from the panther and all the other parts "bolt on". Call Tom at JBP he has all the info and the kit.

Looks like the panther pump is missing.
Modifying that hull for a berk could be expensive.
A 21' with modest hp (and berk) ~60 mph boat
I'd pass

nothing comes with the hull. its just as you see it. the hull is being offered for $100. yes ONE HUNDRED. no jet included.... just wondering what is expensive? even at $100, is it not worth it? i dont want to spend the same or more than just going out and buying a mini cruiser. i thought i could get into this for about as little as possible after using as much as possible from my current boat. the gel looks restorable. i know i may need to have upholstery made for it too. i'm ok with that. how much should i be loking to spend to get my berkley to fit this hull? or should i just run?!! :banghead:

I'm not afraid of the work. Ive had my boat down to nearly nothing. Wired it myself: no problem. I think i can build the seat frames myself too. But no way can i set up my berkley jet to fit. Kust trying to get an idea of what the cost would be. Any recommendations of a shop who can handle the job near Pomona? Thanks.
