It's been really slow with the Pantera with all the work we have had. I had bought the motors i posted above but we are using those in another project we have in mind. So i decided on going with 95 2.5 black maxs that have work done to them. They have 99 power head with a light weight fly wheel, sport jet reeds, worked up jets, shaved heads, honed, boring block producing about 245ish hp per side. I'm having the motors painted by the end of the week. Still waiting for the interior to come back from getting re-done

the interior is finally in

The fairing is finally done...took a lot longer then expected with all the work going on at the shop. It has changed the boat 100%.. I can honestly say the boat looks like 2010

This pic is from the trip when i went to go pick up the boat in AZ.....this is with the old fairing

I like it!

Hey Mike, what are you doing with the cabin door area and that whole bulkhead? Are you gonna cut all that out now that the dash is complete?

 

[Premier Perf]

Tim i'm not going to cut it all out. i'm going to remove the door that is has and leave it open for now. I have the 2 amps back against the walls to each side of the door and the speakers. so for now pretty much the same without the door.....getting splashed within weeks....not bad for having the boat less than 3 mth

What do you guys think of putting 2 big eyes in the fairing

I vote for Pantera on the windshield....

I vote for Pantera on the windshield....

Me too ! The eyes have to go at waterline where they are staring at you like this one.

I like Bobcat's thinking on this one.

Did you get the fairing from the factory? How easy was it to install?

 

[Premier Perf]

yes from the factory.......the actuall install is not that bad....taking off the old one, shapping, grinding, prepping...the only word is nightmare...but it's molded in by the inside and outside...it looks like factory. When Pepe saw it, he was amazed how well it looked that for a sec he thought they did it. Dont regret it one bit....boat looks amazing

Started working on the boat again on monday.....laying out the dash and opening up the holes for the gauges... The center console is already done as well. We are working on the boat everyday until it's done...maiden voyage will be next weekend hopefully:driving::willy_nilly:
