Thanks. I intend to use the boat often and that means it might not always be in Miami. I love the Bahamas and I'm hoping this boat will take me anywhere I want to go. Was even thinking Mexico If I could ever work up the courge to make a trip like that. I'm new to this site and I see how much people love their pantera's so hopefully I will not let anyone down building the1st41. I noticed in another thread that people were making suggestions on engines/drive packages and you did a great job on the paint job so I'm wondering if I could get more help from everyone out there on the cockpit layouts. Jo and Pepe have given me a few new options including center steering and a side by side bolster for me and my girlfriends. I have seen their 6 man bolster which I really like but I want access to the cabin so I think the best solution is the "dual console". Any thoughts?

Thanks guys.
The black boat used to be Jo's F1 race boat.
It's the same boat as post #50 on this thread
This pic was also at the Ohio River Poker Run last weekend
1st41
I don't care for the side by side seating very much.
Looks bad when you and a buddy are out on the boat.
My 00002. cents

Those pics are from 1983 I bought the boat with the funky deck and 100hp johnsons for like 4000.00 Its was my first offshore boat. I rerigged it with twin front mount steering and a too small helm pump and the two mercs 225hp. I ran some 23 pitch cleavers Good speedometers were unheard of back then so my best guess is 62mph. the motors were too long 25" but in '83 it was a pretty cool boat . I have always liked panteras since.
