Well, you coulda done nothing(which is free), and blown it up.
Then you'd have to fix it, not just freshen, and fix anything that happened cuz of it, and then there is always down time. |

Going tomorrow to pick up the boat and trailer. Just had new axles, brakes, all new carpet, and new stainless hardware throughout. :ernaehrung004: I hope to go around Thanksgiving to get the floor fixed up. From the last couple of offshore runs, the bolsters aren't very well tied down anymore. :hitfan: One of these days, I'll get enough together to re-do the interior too. That will be the final piece. :cool-smiley-026::cool-smiley-026: |

Yep.

I hope to go around Thanksgiving to get the floor fixed up. From the last couple of offshore runs, the bolsters aren't very well tied down anymore. :hitfan: i had the floor redone when i had it... i think the correct thing to do, is to have metal plates glassed in the deck threaded or with bolts attached underneath... that'll hold the bolsters down. One of these days, I'll get enough together to re-do the interior too. That will be the final piece. :cool-smiley-026::cool-smiley-026: nice to know the only thing that really needs to get done is the only thing i never got to. :D |
Pantera at SCOPE Poker Run
Pantera at SCOPE Poker Run :D
Not very often do I see a Pantera in Florida Power Boat Club. None in the membership. We ran with the OPBA in St Pete /Sarasota. Great photos!:D |
It's funny, it seems like there are more Panteras on the great lakes than there are in Florida!
And on the mantenance thing... until you guys go car racing, you'll never truly appreciate how pleasant the whole boating thing is! :D |
sean, you mean hi revving street racing engines need normal maintenance??? :D

Friday was cut short by some teething problems again, but the results weren't exactly what we'd expected. Same guys as last time (size-wise) with a bit less fuel (since I didn't refill it). Only pulled about 5,500 rpms with the old bravo 26 on it and only saw a max of 72.4 (and pretty consistenly less than that) so I think it's time to start messing around with set up a bit.
I did get the new hatch on the boat on Saturday. Very nice. Thanks Mike! (And as usual, it's a crappy camera phone photo. :D ) |
