finished dash

Nice Job!!

Bruce any engine pics???

I'll check here's some transome shots

extension box

finished drive installed

Great looking boat!
Here's what I'm going to do:
A 28 with the racing dash(like the white w/green eyes
all white w/white swim plat also green eyes
side/side 2 man bolster in the middle w/ walk around both sides
Rear bench
no cockpit liner so floor will be 6" lower
full cabin with portside entry no carpet very cleanable
pirelli floor like cig wave
hydr steering
believe it or not a single 496HO
we are looking for a family boat that can cruise at 45-50 all day and can handle sloppy water. I have looked long and hard and feel this fits the bill the best. I want a family truckster for the keys, something unique that is a blast to drive. Joe said removing the liner will save 100s of lbs and lower the floor.
I've got to close on a few more house to pay for this bad boy. I hope to splash by summer

Why not 500hp efi ?? is it that much more money?
The 496ho is a nice package ...just a question

pic of the motor 468/approx575hp

Looks like both of you have manual hatches with hydraulic assist?
Is there a brand name on those things?

I'll see if I can post a pic of what I've got, but they are springs. To close you have to reach in and tap each spring. I am always getting bonked in the head:mad: :mad:

I like the simplicity of the manual hatch, no motors, wires, switches, etc. but what you guys have looks like a better idea.

Well here's a shot of the cabin before stripping everything out.

Bruce that's some nice work...what's she running??

HebertNeccesity that's gonna be one nice layout.

I hope we can get the Pantera get together planned this year.
