Hey Mr. Bullet thanks for posting up the pics, this is going to
be a blast this project, the best part of it is I got my
nephews helping me with the build that way I get to
pass the knowledge on to them how to do stuff right
pay attention to detail I always tell them.

My post was not negative ! Im the last m()therF()cker you need to talk shi+ to .... Your gonna want to realize who your friends are !
And yea I'm just a poor boy that couldn't afford to buy a new boat ...........

O yea, and unless your Yosemite f()cken Sam ! Nobody calls anyone PARTNER any more .

What's the price for a blank 28' hull? $35-40K?


Looks very nice! Congrats!! :)

I like better w/0 recessed hull sides.
MD

Ditto

Yup. Most likely stronger too.

Do you get to say you have a 2013 Pantera when you've built it yourself and have a used drive train in it ?

Yes...never really understood the draw of that look.

whats the hull stamped.... thats what he can call it.

maybe we should side track this thread a little more away from underloads build and what year his hull and drive train is and dig into that conversation about scams, theft, charities, poker runs, plea deals, chris sunkin, children.... you know all that good stuff??? any takers???

Speaking of which, did anyone else get a strange e-mail from Pantera? I think their e-mail may have gotten hacked.

I received probably the same "strange" email also... I checked with JO and he confirmed that thier email did get hacked and they were working on getting it resolved... Do not respond to it...!!!

Now back to Underloads build thread...

Why don't you just FO?

I asked a question.
Just answer it and lose your phuctard attitude.

If I walked half way down a GM assembly line and yanked what was going to be a Tahoe off the line when it had no drive line wheels or tires and no gauges, did I buy a 2013 Tahoe ??

I'm curious how much too.

:party-smiley-004:

Well kinda a silly question No?
I owned a 86 ski boat with a 2000 o.b. but the boat was still a 86.
Also Im not 100% sure how the new owner intends to build, but I highly doubt it'll have borrowed gauges & interior slapped in it with a clapped out smoky 365 mag

Well fukk me sideways.....I just wired the cash to the philippines:lolhit:

why do you have to sh!t on everyones parade??? did i hit the red button with my last comment??? as far as your tahoe... yes it would be a 2013...thats what the vin says... you knew the answer to your own question you just wanted to be the typical rich f%ck head that likes to stir the pot... your like 50 something yrs old and a scam artist P.O.S well my bad more like an uncle tom, sellout, whatever you wanna call it. you coming on here is a little like the pot calling the kettle black dont you think?? you can keep your mouth shut and we can leave it here or keep your stupid comments coming and the whole story will surface showing your true colors.... remember google is forever!!!

Yes, here's what Jo sent me! I asked if that was Berks boat sanded & re-gelcoated.

yes got one today

Yea I got it too.

So do I - Not a real big fan of the Recessed Hull Sides.., but that is just my opinion...

They look absolutly awesome in person... You can't get the feel or the cool factor out of some of the pictures shown... But they do look very coo in person...l especially with the steps underneath and the lights running down the sides...!!

I agree...might be a weak spot.

They probably do weaken the hull by increasing possible stress points. Kind of a strange feature for boats that have a reputation forhandling the rough stuff. I like the non-recessed hull better too.

Def has a WOW factor....kinda reminds me of a lambo or corvette recessed body panels. It's just a bit too busy for me:lolhit:
I'd be happy either way.....

Simple engineering ! The step actually makes it stronger and more ridged . If you don't like it , you don't like it ! But it is stronger ..

I'd say it depends upon the direction of the stress forces on the hull. If the forces are vertical in that area, a sharp angle may not be ideal.

I was gonna cut your sides and make the first 24R when we restored your boat , Now I know how you feel I'm glad I didn't !
WTF ! No Green and now this

That's better. LOL!

Nice wheels...they've even got the truck nutz! LOL

Yea, I agree. Love the look of large breasts!

Btw, how much you selling your boat for?

Time will tell. Cracks happen. Glass flexes. I highly doubt it is stronger. And yes I know how boats are designed and built. Almost did them on the last big project but scrapped the idea because of the angle and trying to pull from the mold.

The glass in the step is one continuous run with the side . If you really want to do it , it will come straight out of the mold with no force , no twisting , no prying . Will not post but if you PM me I will tell you how its done ...

This is an excellent read about hull stress cracks and the causes...

http://www.yachtsurvey.com/HullFailP2.htm

I got it. We chose not to because of the angle it needed to be pulled. Also didn't think they fit the lines of the boat. I guess I would have to see it from the inside out. What type of core used etc. I'm sure you understand what I meant in my last post. Some people dig it and that is cool. I don't.

The technique used to put the steps in a hull allows you to pull the hull straight up just like if there was no recess .
You and most people don't like the steps , most prefer the classic line ,and thats cool, but me I like the resto mod , cutting edge and different . Hell I'm still trying to figure out how to mount a flux capacitor on my boat !

So why do they all need to be painted? A perfect pop doesn't require it. There are some pretty pricey boats out there that HAVE to be painted to cover flaws. Not saying it's a bad design or argue with ya. Just leery I guess. Just like the hull the sides are in constant motion while running. The glass will move the gel won't causing it to crack. No fault of Pantera, I think they build a rugged boat well.

Back to the topic before super forum moderator 88 asks for pictures to prove I own a boat.

I just wanted to get it out there, and see if it was fake, as I am sure it was, was afraid some poor sucker would have fallen for it, and Jo would be called responsible:lolhit:
