    Searching for someone on the west coast to help me revive our Pantera 24/7. There's a long history behind this..... The founders and good guys know.

    Hey Jody, good to hear from you.

    You're gonna keep it I guess. Cool.....

    Fund reviewed it last. He knows more about what needs to be done to finish, "revive", it than anyone I think. Once we get that figured out, we'll make some calls to friends in that area.

    I had a feeling she'd keep it, that's why I never asked and shoo'd the early vultures away.

    She has a sanded hull and deck, stripped. I believe the tank is ok. She'll need a considerable amount of paint work, inside and out.
    It needs to be rigged and wired.
    Needs interior, if I recall.
    The exhaust is there, I think it is a working TRS drive, and the pumps, transom assembly is there.
    There is a newly built (been sitting, but it's "new") 454 waiting to go in. I think Itllfly in Ohio built it.
    So basically, has boat, power and drive and needs it all pretty and re-assembled.
    It's an entire boat build. Just no hull layup.
    I don't recall that any structural remediation is needed.

    I would get hands-on with this if I were closer.

    You're correct fund..... No structural just cosmetic. The engine hasn't been one the dyne but it's new. I need to get this done while I have funds. No pun intended fund!!!

    That sucks. Yelp says you have really good coffee and oatmeal there.
