Just a thought on the rubrail, could you possibly v notch the rail make the bend and weld the hole up and polish out. Beautiful boat by the way. Hoping my pantera will see that makeover someday.

Thanks for the thread, I'm getting ready to tackle my Excalibur was thinking of taking the deck off but rethinking the project, going your way.

Great Work!

Any News?

Great job!!! Is this Pantera from the Cleveland area?

Thanks. This one is not from the Cleveland area. This was supposedly a NH boat all its life

We are back at it again. This could be the year!

I have not seen this boat out in the open, uncovered, in a long time. This is the first time in years that I have been able to step back and take it in. Here are a few shots walking around it. Seats are not yet bolted in. I will have to take a few inches out of the stands next year.

Fantastic boat Anu!
Well done!
Proof that patience and a well thought out plan is the way to go.
Good for you man.

Thank you, Rob!

It is not as perfect as yours, nor is it the monster that yours will be, but man am I happy with it.

Love your build!
