Some of you may recognize this boat from Kris who painted it a few years ago. I have been working on it for the past three months after stripping a 1989 24' Vector Python that was rotted. The Vector was a 454/bravo boat so I have used 99% of it for the 1980 Pantera. The Pantera will be powered by the 454 with some descent parts. I am coming down the home stretch and hoping to get it in the water Sunday or Monday night. I have a ton of pictures of the build but cut it down to a few.

Stripped and retained the original cabin doors and lid then lacquered.

Not to derail your thread but I have the front seats and backseats out of a 24 python if anybody needs them.

post the pics and walk us thru the build, everyone on here likes that stuff.
where is the python, i want to buy the engine hatch off of it !

Nicely done!

Looks good! I talked to you at the Chesapeake Inn last year with my White 22 Avanti.....glad to see it's coming along

I used the front drop out frames from my python. The back seat and sides will not fit an SE but might fit a pantera sport.

I had a guy who was supposed to come buy it todaylol

Where are you located? PM me your number and i'll send you some pics of the hatch.
Thanks
