I picked up my new 08 Pantera IV this weekend from Riverside Marine and I must give a big shout out to Reed and Steve . It was the most pleasant and easiest boat buying experience I have had in 20 some odd years. I had them do a couple of tweaks to the boat (graph, hambys, upgrade batteries) and everything still looked like it came straight from the factory. Reed spent time with me going over everything and answering all the questions I had at the time and introduced me to the tech crew. BCB should be proud to have them as a dealer. I also found answers to some of my questions from this site before I went to pick up the boat (another plus for BCB). Got it home and and in its garage and after going through the manuals and paper work I came up with a few I couldnt find answers to. I am sure someone will have answers to a couple of questions I have (probably a lot of someones). 1. The catalog and web site stated the the PIV has 4 interior courtesy lights, but I only found 3 (console, rear deck-passenger side, front deck-drivers side). I know I am getting old and my eyesite is going, but where is the 4th light located. 2. There is a rectangular seethrough hatch cover below the drivers seat. I thought I read on here what it is for but couldn,t find that again (memory is going as well). 3. Is the MG trolling motor mounted with bolts and fender washers underneath (I assume) or with the old rubber compression bolts (need to know how often to check the tightness). I have not had a chance to splash it by myself and drive around for a couple of hours (somewhat weather related) and will probaply have a few more questions later but it is a good feeling I can get them answered here!!! Once again a big thanks to Reed and Steve as well as BCB. Jim >`·._ .·´Ż>`·. _ .·´Ż·. >
