Project Black 24 From Miami
#22
Work looks great so far! While you have the interior tore down you may want to consider making it a sit-down boat. I modified my seats so they're sit downs and it was the best thing I did. The shallow cockpit makes the 24 a perfect sit-down boat IMO.

I believe this was my first boat and Pantera. When I first bought it, it had been painted yellow. The originally gel coat under the yellow was a dark blue. I owned it around 1993, it had a 350 and an alpha drive. I actually had the boat taken all apart and redone. It didn't have this windshield when I had it. I had it painted all white and then took it over to Pantera were we Joe and Linda had all the bilge cleaned up and repainted. We added all new flush powder coated cleats, rub rail, powder coated deck rail (which is the same on the boat now), Pirelli floor a fresh interior and steering wheel updated to what they were using at the time. When it left Pantera it looked like a new Pantera completely updated except for the trailer at the time. Once Pantera finished I took it over to a rigger to get fresh rigging. Then a couple of months later after it was totally completed, we went on a Columbus Day regatta weekend and my trailer got stolen. The trailer I originally had made the boat look older so I bought this Tropic Trailer new. With the new trailer under her, she looked all new. Great boat and had a blast with it. I sold it a couple years later to a guy from Ft Lauderdale in which added a fiberglass windscreen, some painted lined on the deck and hopped up 350. This boat brought me much happiness. I hope you get to enjoy it as much as I did.
