I miss talking to Pat for sure. We went back and forth about history and odd ball things about the Pantera and Activator.

The link below shows the boat as the cover for the video and at the 8min mark. There are some other shots running later in the video as well. I love these vids from Jeff at Freeze Frame..... where would "addicts" like me be without them.

Congrats on building a boat that MANY of us dream of owning/running. I saw picks of the finished product on FB a few weeks back? I had been looking for your post and could not find it on FB or OSO. I have always been a fan of the Pantera, Activator, Kryptonite and Superboats. I bought a Kryptonite last year after a long search. I hope to get to see it in person on Lanier. Bob

I starting taking inventory on what i had and didn't have. As most know one thing leads to another. I have a few pics of my starting point i'll post. I ended up working on the trailer first. Didn't have working brakes and it was crusty, etc etc. Needed some love. Bottom line if i wanted to take it anywhere safely it had to be done.
