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.
