Nice project and a bonus bit of personal history too!
Looking at the Pantera above (beautiful boat but need to clean up that trailer!) makes me question your graphics. First thoughts, I liked the graphics but maybe a bit too 'heavy'. Too much and too dark. Get your deck and hull bottom done then stand back and have a careful think.
Maybe something simple like a boot line stripe and a logo-styled name instead? You could do a matching stripe on the white deck also. Remember, this boat is a bit more of a classic and something simple could give it timeless appeal. A bit like a Donzi Classic, 'less is more'.
Just a thought.

Haven't posted in awhile cold weather has kept me from working on the boat but the past 2 weeks it's been really nice so I have been working on it. It's getting there.

I don't even know where to start I have done so much lately. Boat is out of the garage. Motor is in and wired up, dash is wired up, cabin is back together, carpet is in , the added red lights in the cockpit are wired and working now, the white led courtousy lights are wired . just waiting on a few breakers to show up so I can wire the switch one breaker was bad. had to have the header welded , replaced nav lights work. Kill switch and ignition have been replaced and wired up and now work . added a phone port to charge phones. wheeled the boat out had to buy new batteries and trays and new starter. cockpit interior is out getting redone. a few more weeks it should be in the water. here's some photo's.
also added some polished valve covers .
here is the Google Photo's shared album of the boat so far.

Looks great!
Im doing a similar project on a 98 Sunsation Agressor, ill post up some pics soon in a new thread not to take over yours. Unfortunately mine didnt start in bad shape, just had bad luck and and replacing the motor shortly.
What size engine did you put in the boat?
