I am a V-drive guy, I have a 17.5' '63 Stevens 396(needs new engine), and I have had a 21' Taylor V-drive. I am now looking at a '83 Omega with a 454 and Panther jet. This will be my first jet boat if I go for it. Any thoughts on the Omega or the Panther drive? I went and saw the boat yesterday, and was impressed on the condition and upkeep. I am going to go back later in the week to get it wet and check out the mechanics.
Any assistance would be great.
I have been surfing the forum for a while and I think it looks like a good hang out.
