Jet Boat Performance Panther XLerator mixed flow conversion , Panther® drive modifications have long been considered, pondered, and experimented with by many in our industry. Several years ago with a little “time on our hands”, we @ JBP decided to try to “dream up” a modification to this existing marine jet drive, due in part to what in our opinion was less than satisfactory overall performance. The performance “wall”, in our opinion, was even more evident when this jetdrive was “asked” to perform with the increased power available in todays market. We had several times “excised” the characteristic fiberglass inlet pod from these boats, rebuilt the fiberglass bottom and installed Berkeley style jets with great success.  However this was a messy time consuming and expensive proposition. The modified jet offers a “bolt in” alternative to that process, reusing or “utilizing” the existing drives original suction piece and essentially discarding everything else, thus requiring only very minor modifications to the boat hull, structure and hardware. The Energizer Kit offered and manufactured by the prestigious American Turbine Co. (sold by us and its authorized dealers), is designed and based on our original concept and modified unit we @ JBP experimented with two years ago. The modified drive offers significant performance gains, is an “owner friendly”, simple economical repair and installation, and has the added luxury and advantage of being able to accept American Turbine, Dominator and Berkeley style “bolt ons”, such as droop snoots, bowl, wedges, rudders, Turbine Trim and Place Diverter trim. Original proto types of this modification have shown dramatic drops in operating RPMs while providing modest gains in acceleration, power and overall performance. Complete mixed flow Modifications and Energizer type kits are now available and are, at this writing being installed with oustanding results!
