I don't imagine in 1980 that ANYONE in the boating industry was working on such small details as what I mentioned, but I don't remember, I was 9 yrs. old. That is something that has evolved into this industry. I don't think there is anything wrong with bringing some of those details into this old-school boat as I work on her.
The boat didn't NEED to be torn down, but she was showing almost 30 years of doing exactly what she was built to do. It's just cosmetics that I wanted to bring back.
There is a reason we hold these boats in such high regard, and there is a reason that those Damn Swede's are snatching up what little stock of them are available Notice, Magne was already on this one before the thread came up.
Oh, and Pepe - please keep posting, I always like reading your posts.

A Pantera will outlast several sets of engines and drives, Mercruiser should be upping the ante here.

So far just as many Pantera owners are as anal about things as I am.
Maybe that is why we all chose a Pantera.
Chris - I spent my entire evening tonight fabricating new inner transom exhaust rings.
As you know, they are barely visible - none the less, I think they came out pretty well.
Here's old, new, and the flat sheet stock I started with.
Again, probably the wrong place to post this, but we're all family down here, right??
