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...

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
