GREAT looking boat!
All I had to do it trim about 2 inches off the bottom of the dash for leg room. My seats sit a little high because I am used to a stand up boat. I may lower them as i get used to sitting down. Up I will tell you I'm not going back to standing. Its sooo much better sitting. They are PPI seats and you just feel locked in like a race car. And no problem with big landings.

The stifter is still the old school type. Its in the dash in the factory location. It seems perfect. When I upgrade to the offshore style i will install the shifter in the same location.

mikeb4 Pantera572 Dude! Sweet! Thank you very much.

Jo, you made my day! How cool is it to get a complement from the people who built my boat almost 30 years ago!

Well actually Jo was about 8 years old when your boat was born.
Really I am the proud daddy!

How did you secure the fairing to the deck? very smooth and clean look from the outside. Nice work Russ.

Im going for a overall look for this year.
Nice,

How did you mount it??
