Good deal for that price. Interior looks almost identical to my sport except the windshield

The helm and fuse panel on the S.E. here is virtually identical to mine.

What should i do as far as logo/name? I think im going to remove the stripes of the boat aswell. And paint the bottom vivid white. the maroon is pretty ugly, but its pretty recent paint. Any ideas?

I would rig it first and get everything running. If you still have money left and you still like the boat after a little seat time then address the cosmetics.

any chance you could email me some pics of the pantera logo you have? I've been trying to figure out what to do and that looks perfect!

Im rebuilding the 420 currently. Im going to strip the decals off for now, and rig it and run it.

Are you still running the 850? I have known your boat for a while it was almost a twin to my old 24' '80 red white etc...

I'll do you one better . . .
I made those decals myself (vinyl plotter here at work)
Not only will I send some pics but send me your e-mail and
I will also send the files so your local sign shop can cut you a set of logos :)

I went with Sunfire Yellow on the EYES because the green clashed with the red. Too much of a Christmas theme.

Gets alot of compliments!

IRONMAN,
Any info or stories you have from my boats Lake George days would be greatly appreciated!

The 850 Blower motor has been beefed up and sits in a 26' American Offshore.

The Pantera has a brand new (2 years ago when I bought the boat) 496ci tall deck. Alum heads, Gil Dry Exhaust, etc. About 600hp. Boat is too much fun.

Cant wait to see how the S.E. here turns out.
