Great pics! it was awesome weather this past weekend up here in our area!

Boat looks very wicked in all black! :party-smiley-004:

great pics, and real nice Cafe Racer.
btw, how'd you fit 3 in the boat?

We fit 4 people in the Pantera on a routine basis, the broads just stand in front of the guys while you drive:cool:

Not the best setup when you are honking on it but the only injury we have had was one sprained ankle and a lost pair of chanel shades ($450). That was before I bought a bag full of lanyards and made the broads wear them.

the engines in the cafe.

I have done en extensive amount of work to my drivetrain and bilge this year and though I would post some pictures for you guys. I have also added a bigger scoop and put a brand new interior into the boat since I last updated this thread.

I bought the boat 2 years ago as you can see from this thread, when I was 24 years old. It was my first boat, I had never even owned a tinner with a 9.9 before and had no experience driving a boat of any kind. lol.

Still learning but loving every minute of it. :drink:

We even had a chance to run a poker run, my first in which I had the best hand. I enjoyed it so much I ran another one... my luck changed this time and I blew my motor after 2 seasons and about 100 hours by me. So the madness began and the wallet came out. lol.

The engine and the drive came off. Never having done this before it was interesting to do with another non boater but my pal and mechanical guru Airpacker gave me some much needed advice and took all of my many stupid questions and calls.

Bilge was looking pretty nasty after the engine issues, the guys working in there, etc. So we decided to clean it up with a fresh coat of Bilgekote as well.
