Transfer case

The most important component that makes the Panther possible is the patented transfer case that converts the power from the motor to the jet and the transmission. Watercar Inc. designed and patented their revolutionary amphibious transfer case in 2004; it has proved to be indestructible. It uses the Winter’s Quick Change gears and components that can handle over a thousand HP. When this is combined with the stainless steel Panther Jet that has been tried and proven with over 25 years and over 35,000 units sold... This amphibious drive train combination is truly unbeatable

Those pics look like Marine Stadium in LB. That Panther could get swamped and then sink like a rock if a wake would hit it on the side with the doors off or open.

Gotta admit, I am surprised and slightly encouraged that this wasn't a link to some kind of Huey Newton joke vid or something in that spirit

I wonder how well a thread about Huey P. Newton would be received.

I say you start one. ;)

Black Panther Party leader, He is a piece of crap. Any black in the USA that studies, gets good grades, goes to college, gets a degree can be successful. Hang in the Hood, biotch about whitey, get public aid. They will go nowhere in this game of life. Whites, blacks, asians, latinos, anybody, has never had it better in this country, the problem is people are lazy and don't want to put in 50 - 80 hour weeks in school or work to get ahead. If you want to buy a Panther car/boat you can but you will have to work for it.

Common sense people. :My Two Cents:
DR

Newton himself was arrested in 1967 for allegedly killing an Oakland police officer during a traffic stop. He was later convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to two to 15 years in prison. But public pressure—"Free Huey" became a popular slogan of the day—helped Newton's cause. The case was eventually dismissed after two retrials ended with hung juries.
