Way more solid , delete bow hatches , front 40 gal gas tank , cut wood floor , back seat and hatch out and replace with divincil core and changed seating out to carbon fiber MoMo . Probably dropped 350 lbs total

nice i know that engine cover ways a ton, some carbon fiber there would help, where can you get devinvil core?

Are you saying you removed tank from rear and put in a 40 gallon up front.

No I had a 60 gal in the rear and a 40 in the front . No poker runs in this boat so I didn't need to carry 100 gallons . You can get any marina to order foam coring for you . $$$ be prepared its not cheep .

dang joe that sure is a bad ass looking shop:evilb:

Been a few years.
Ever get'er done?

Forgot all about this thread . Talk about one thing leading to another and another and another . I wound up finding a rotten transom so I replaced it then I built a set of core reinforced stringers and put them in ,and all new bulk heads . So then I decided I didn't want the classic look and started designing a new top deck and we are now turning my old deck into a plug . It will be the first poker run 24 Pantera . We will be able to build and install these new decks for anyone with a 24/7 in either carbon fiber or fiberglass .
We now own a set of molds and will be building 26/7's stepped and notched with our poker run top decks on them so I'm gonna finish the Pantera , run it and then sell it .
In the end I lost 800lbs , went from 565hp to 750 and lost the TRS with tranny and put a surface drive on it so I don't think breaking a hundred is gonna be a problem . However I cant very well keep a 24 Pantera when Im gonna be building , endorsing and selling my own brand ...
I will definitely post an update as soon as I run it !

How about some pics?
