Hey everyone, that's mine and my brothers boat, it's a 97 and we won on Sunday, the boat ran extremely well in the rough water. The engine builder we used for key west was Jeff Cropper from JC Performance in New York. We didn't run weds or friday due to some steering issues.

Congrats on the win! Boat looked great on Sunday.

Sunday definitely seemed like the roughest day too.

JC builds a great motor. He ran well all week, except the last portion of Sunday's race. Hopefully he'll recover quickly.

Congrats! :) JC builds great engines! Besides he's a great guy!

But the 24 looks way to heavy on the back. Please straight this out for me, but why a #3 setup on a 24?

simple answer if we had run a bravo in key west we would have broken it. We chose a speedmaster setup for reliablity so we don't have to worry about the bravo breaking, we usually run a 4 which is a lot shallower but ran the 3 to help the boat track a little better in rough water and not prop walk so much!

gregga 11-25-2012 08:23 PM

And we had a drive trim issue and couldn't trim the drive in anymore to get the bow down that's why it was running a little kitey.

Ahh... Noticed it was running a little high when y'all were racing. Sure was rough on Sunday...

gregga 11-26-2012 09:36 PM

yes sir it was, but its not fun unless its rough :D

Great video Gregg ! Nice to see that Pantera 24' still running that strong.

I remember going with my family to see Scott B race in it for the first time I think in 2000 at Holiday Isle which he won.

Glad the boat ran well and you guys won on Sunday. I was trying to make it down on Sunday but could not get away. Send me an email so we can stay in touch for next year. I would like to meet you guys in person. [email protected]

Regards,

Jo
