transom filled, glassed, ready to be sanded and primed.

Next project… since the old hatch had some rot as well we were going to try and re-core it but it makes more sense to build a new one…

only thing I’m bummed about is the custom paint that the old hatch had. Will definitely make a cool shop ornament lol. Just have to figure out what to do on this hatch. Definitely going black base but would love to do something custom. I don’t think upholstering it is the way to go on this boat even tho it is practical. I won’t do decals.

Damn bro. You are not F’n around!

Who's your neighbor in the shop?.....

Springs around the corner! Honestly tho I can’t take any credit. I have a friend doing most of the work with a few workers down in NC. I’m as surprised of the progress as anyone.

The Apache? Banner boat clone

Whoever that shop is you need to have them on speed dial!. I've never seen any glass work go that fast before. You posted engines coming out on the Dec 28th and transom getting faired out on Jan 12th. That is incredible!

There’s no grass growing under your feet, looks like the Pantera not gonna get used much this summer.

I know thats what I'm worried about lol. The pantera is super easy to just dump in the water and go. We'll take that out when everyone takes out the jet skis and what not. Its a great river/bay boat. The cig will be for long runs/ocean runs. Most likely not an afternoon cruise boat unless i find a lift to keep it on.

Would you ever think about selling it?

Not unless I got stupid money for it.

seen her posted up outside the shop yesterday when coming home from morehead!!! going to be a cool setup for sure!! dont sell the pantera!!! I need motivation for my excalibur lmao
