As far as I have been told. Hondo, Cole, Dimarco, and Brendella all made these pantera bottom hulls. They are very fun to drive. I have a 77 Cole that will hopefully hit the water next summer.

how about a bigger pic of your boat FIN
Our Hondo ran between 103 and 107 mph usually. We had a Berkeley pump and about 780 to 800 HP. The barrel roll was caused by me getting my foot stuck between the pedal and the stringer on some rollers. Couldn't get out of it quick enough.
I have one, it is shaped like a flatty on top with a pantera hull( shallow v with "wings"). When I bought it 3 years ago it came with fixed cav plates and no ride plate. I fabricated one, not before doing some 50 mph spinouts. Very loose hull at speed, I feel every ripple and I've only got her up to 68mph. Running a 455 olds, hei, offy tunnel ram, 8.5 to 1, 50 shot nos.

Just registered on this site, saw this thread, I have owned a T-Deck Hondo Jet for 34 years now. Was set-up originally to be a circle boat, adjustable cav. plates, drop thru fin. Pump has been set-back,shoe and ride plate/intake by MPD, bottom by Jeff Bennett. 468 BBC/dual 750's runs mid 80's with less than 500hp.
76 Hondo, Nice boat! Interesting setup there with the cav plates!
