Few more updates..




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.

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.

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!

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.
