Rebirth of my 1979 pantera 24!!!
 
I just laoded the hull back on the trailer. I sanded all the base clear off. I used U-TECH E350 high build sandable epoxy primer. After a ton of body work. Shot 6 coats of paper white Imron. Here is the link to the photos I posted on the net. I will be posting a ton more in the next few days. There will be no wet sanding or buffing. The last two coats went on soaking wet. Reduced Imron 30%. Looks great! I will be building a solid wind screen like the later model 24's have. The factory windshield and trim was missing when I found the boat. If anyone has a 24se that I could get some measurements from that would be great. I will post more pics tomorrow.

. I plan on putting the eyes and pantera on the very back of each side. Other than that when I get my front valance built I will put the pantera across that like the later model boats.

Kool .... sounds familiar, here is my boat when new and as now. I have the eyes on my swim platform, rear of front bolsters and screen into the cabin. Also on pillows and other stuff in the cabin, love the eyes on white or black backgrounds.

I also have the Pantera script accross the windscreen fairing.

Thanks guys! I need to find someone with a 24se that I can get some measurements from for my front windshield-valance we will be building.
