    So can we call it at this point? As of 10:06am Pacific Time, we've finally discovered that Pantera owners are all rednecks!?

    You didn't think it would be possible for you to start a thread without some sort of surprise did you ?? Funny thing is with us idiots all it took was a simple avatar pic to get us side tracked & off topic.. as for the redneck statement yeah I would say for the most part thats pretty true you guys are a bunch of rednecks !!

    Pictures to follow. As if jinxed by my comments to Tim about the camera, my wife dropped the little digital camera in the sand at the beach on Friday and it doesn't open right now...

    Sean, we're going to have send you an Official Photog for your ventures.
    You "clearly" have camera trouble.
    Maybe Sharkey, FF, or Jayboat could help you out

    How's the 24 running, and are you making any progress on the 28, or still holding off until winter?
    If you get a hole in your day tomorrow, give me a call, I plan on hanging out at the house drinking beer all day, so I got the time.

    Ok, progress pics... This is the "Demolition phase" and keep in mind that I flew out to Knoxville and looked this boat over very carefully, so I want to make sure everyone knows that I was well aware of what I was getting into when I bought this boat. You won't find a better guy or a straighter shooter than Chris (Duunoit).

    Ok, onto the carnage!

    As I said, I started hacking out the cabin floor. I used a 4" grinder with a cutting wheel on it and basically left a few inches everywhere so I could see how much room I had before I pushed up against the hull (thank you Rick! ). I don't know what I'm doing, but at least I'm not going to let my ignorance keep me from doing stuff! The plan is to cut out the floor, throw in a bulk head or two (but stick with bare stringers), get rid of all the mildew and repaint everything. I'm going to at least replace the deck hatch, but might seal it off and go with the smooth deck look like I'm doing on the 28. We'll see...

    A couple more pics. I left that section on the right there so that I'd have something to sit on, but it's basically also already cut out. I didn't have a respirator around so I was holding my shirt over my face with one hand and running the grinder with the other (in case you were wondering how loaded I was when I made those jagged cuts). But I figured it's all coming out anyhow, so I wasn't too worried about it.

    I only started a small fire, well really more of a smoulder, with the cut off wheel (one spot where the wood was actually dry!) and had to punch the floor out (Human Wrecking Ball style!) before it all when up...

    I found a crescent wrench under the floor too!

    I'd mentioned that I'm fighting the battle of the bilge pumps too... I'm sure I've got a pair of dead floating switches but haven't gotten around to change them yet. I also have this weird deal where my two position dash switches light up when I switch them on, but when I complete the circuit, the test light doesn't light and the light on the switches go out. If I switch the switches off and back on they light up again until I complete the curcuit. No power to the back though.

    I should disclose that I have a long and checkered history with vehicular electrics dating back to the time I tried to chase a short in the dash of my '69 Triumph GT6+ and found that the ENTIRE harness had been wired with green wire. Not painted, but all green wiring... Ah good old english labor unrest...

    Anyhow, I do currently have it rigged up so that I can plug in a couple of blade type connectors from the battery to the power on the pumps and get them to run if I need it, plus I've got a pretty boss hand pump from West Marine...
