Going to have to put the video on hold for a bit. Need to find a RH lower or a set of gears

I bought a cruiser in the last few weeks and really haven't had time to work on the Panther.
I finally got the other drive on and ran it all weekend. I am now really liking all of the bottom work
and the additional strake length. The boat just feels like it floats. The angle of attack is great.
I had a friend get a video today. I haven't seen it yet, but I will post it as soon as I get it.

Here is a pic of the new to me Mothership.

Here is the after. A little bit different conditions but you can see that the boat carries the bow better.

Very nice Jason! I'm in the process of restoring my 87 Panther and was wondering if I can pick your brain on any issues that arises? Thanks
