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 !

Very cool and intresting project Joe!

Some pictures would be very nice!

Have a simular project on going. Since we bought the molds for the Mark Schnepf 27 Activator we are now up to doing the plug for a 28 seamless cockpit boat and also a seamless 28 open.
The mold now have the twin step inlay from the 30 Rage/Activator.
We are right now doing 2 classic deck 27's for race our national class.
When I say "we" - I'm just a partner in it. I do not doing any of the building job. But I know how I wan't it :D
The first 28 cockpit boat will be rigged with a Mercury 800EFI and ITS XR Sportmaster.

Should ship the y2k also ;) keep the power, etc for a 26x7 and ill buy the rest.

Put some pics all that talk and no pics is boring,
100 mph on a 24' seriously is not safe in anyway,
That thing is gonna chime walk all over the place you'll
Probably fly and flip it. LOL put some pice of that new mold.

I have a full time fiberglas technician on staff working very hard to finish all of our molds before we put any into production .
I'm gonna do some homework and see if I can do an Ilmor MV8 in our first turn key boat .

I stole the design features of the 42 fountain Poker Run with the windshields in it .

Pics! Man put something we wll know u do good work
