That's what I do now. The Fiance has been with me every time out so far this year. Need to get out there without her, I haven't been able to see if the new prop I bought over the winter is going to give me anymore MPH's

Imagine what a nightmare this would be if it happened to any of us. I don't think anyone should be giving the driver any shi+ right now.

Couple of comments here if I might.

#1. If the drives hit hard enough to roll the boat there damn sure would be damage. Probably no skegs at the least. Props would also have battle scars. Especially at 45 MPH's. Anyone seen the drives yet? At higher speeds where the drives are semi surfacing and the hull is flying damage may have been more minimal but at 45 it'd be like hitting a submerged telephone pole.

#2. Is it me or does the deck at the bow appear to be seperated from the hull in the picture of the boat upside down?

I'm with you 100%. This could happen to anyone. I was told when I boat a step bottom, "there are 2 kind sof step bottom owners. The one's who spun them and the one's who are going to".

Haha, I noticed.

I suspect had there been any injuries at all there wouldn't any joking around here of course.

Is Pantera no longer building boats?

I will never be able to buy new anyways. I have to get old boats a rebuild/fix them up myself.

Careful! Don't make too much sense thinking about drive damage if they indeed hit! No one wants to hear solid logic in here I've found.

Looks like a split by the rub rail indeed.
