If a 41 Apache was duplicated inch by inch where the same structural strength was obtained , by using todays modern fabrication methods and materials what would the weight difference be?

About a Third example the T-4 I was building was projected at 2400 ready for nuts and bolts.

Is my question an example of what is now happening at Pantera.??

That is the beauty of the material ,the repair is stronger .

The Kuwaiti's brought a guys boat, a huge ugly thing that ate a concrete seawall somewhere destroying the stem and smashing everything back into the saloon we cut the damage away and cleaned it up and ground the edges into a nice 24:1 Scarf,
I took my carpenters and built a mica faced mold on the outside I made some changes in the profile for the better and the molders have at it.

Bear in mind I dormed my crew on site so, I would get the night shift going and when I came in the next morning it was like the Elves had worked all night..

Took a week and we were Microning the bottom and spraying the new sides done.Inside and out.

Steve what do you think of the 36 Pantera T/S.Primarily how it will be in fairly rough water.

Sir they have a weight Break that has to be followed in that class I think 10,400 Pounds, and that boat would run just fine at that weight.

The film shows a nice running boat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qsn-Kw6S_A

Neat stuff here you can see the bow flair coming into play, Pantera did a nice job on the boat.
