The back seat looks awesome . How do you feel when your in the front seats ? Doesn't seem like a lot of freeboard , Have you considered cutting them down ? When mine were high I felt like I was driving a clown boat ..

The front bolsters are high.. I cut and welded the aluminum based before, there as low as they can be and still drop down.. im going to need to have the actual wooden frame and upholstery cut down.. as for space, boat is tight, i was thinking of staggering the front seats to clear some exra room in the rear... but im just not sure about how it looks.. the boat came with side throttle lever, im thinking of converting it over to a top mount to be able to move the bolster farther up and not have to worry about the lever travel. anyone have pictures of a pantera with staggered seating?

as long as the light IS the end of the tunnel...and not an oncoming train!!! boat looks great. ALL 24-7 with bolsters have the same little-too-tall-seat look. but the way they get driven, do you really wanna be in bayliner sit-downs?

I've said it before and posted pic's of my 24 with sit down buckets and it felt nice in all water conditions . I understand some people just like the drop down and the security of being able to stand in rough water . But the drop downs just look giant in all 24/7's

bucket seats look bad ass... i think im going that route next summer.. let me ask you guys a question, do you guys have a lock or latch on your rear engine compartment lid.. its got some weight to it so i dont really think its ganna be an issue just wanted some feed back.. have a buddy with a 22 donzi with no latch never had any issues.. but not sure about risking it..

22/7 sitdown conversion in progress....

Last time my Pantera was in the water there was nothing holding the hatch down other then the weight and it squeezed between the upholstery . It had a pull strap but it did take some force . Knowing what I know now and have seen a couple boats launch hatches at speed I should have had pins on it . However most people have hatch actuators which do a great job lifting and holding down so nothing else is required .

Zavier how's the boat coming along bro? Got most of the wiring done yesterday.. Should be n the water next week!!!

The boat is looking kick ass NB! I'm actually hoping on dropping in the motor tmm!!! If that happens then I can finally empty out my house from all the boat stuff that is clustering up everything lol so maybe even a few weeks I could be splashing it! I really wanted it for tortuga music festival in ft lauderdale in two weeks but let's see!
