Too cool. any way to post the video? I plan to call MER again and get some history on this boat. They have a long history with this boat.
Pulling the motor this weekend to see what I got with the boat.

I don't think that is MERs orig. engine in that boat. Supposedly a few parts of that engine came from Cat Can Do Skater. I dig the Supercat intake manifold though.

Your right, the engine is not one of MER's. But he did race this for a bunch of the years it was around. Engine is misc pieces from the Baker Engineering (Cat Can Do) guys, dynoed somewhere around 700hp. Supercat intake AND heads 
Have a porter that is killer with these heads. He did a set for another motor build and made 695hp with just 489" and 9:1 comp. Still pulling at the 6250 mark we stopped at.
Curious to see what crank piston and rods are in this thing. Hopefully not junk. Sat for 2 years so not about to chance firing this thing up and screwing up a bunch of otherwise nice parts.
Let me know on those rams, otherwise I plan to list 'em. Project fund dipped a bit low LOL

Yep just got it home. Not doubt its a project but some really good hardware is there and the price was right. Plan is for class 6, likely only Orange Beach for this year.
Its a neat boat and has a lot of race history from what I understand. Seem to recall it was one of the first 3 or 4 pantera built. Retitled as a '95.
Should be a fun project.

No limits send me an email to [email protected] and I will send a pic out to ya.
Waterboy - I agree class 6 could be a big class everyone just needs to come out! Orange Beach should be a good time with FREE racing. Class 5 looks like a riot, wish mine was a 28 not a 24!
Once it gets rolling I'll satart a buildup thread. It will be a quick build in hopes of making Orange Beach then a winter build to make things right.
