Yes there was a thread in the Panters section where one was converted. Much better setup imo.

I also converted my 24 but modified the current bolsters.

Actually I think it is a 24, maybe a 22.

IMO 2750 Laveycraft and 27 & 30 Activators. Been in & driven the Lavey but only watched the Activator run through out many years.

Yes, That is a good boat. Built right. I am friends with the original owner of that boat. The main reason why its there is because people are probably I little nervous about bravos & 700's. IMO I think its a pretty good buy. Not many 38's are in that price range. Especially that will run that good and that have 700's.

Activator makes a SOLID boat that can take abuse. Their very well known for their 27 single that kicked azz in F1 racing.

Mange,

Did you change the bottom at all to get those speeds? I thought a 500EFI pushed that hull a little over 80mph. Very impressive!
