Thanks very much guys! I really appreciate the information. Kent Thank you for the pix. They are extremely helpful. You have one gorgeous rig – I hope I didnt ruin my keyboard by drooling all over it! Will the rod locker on your boat hold a 7 rod? Since my budget might allow me to consider a 1999 – 2001 Pantera I correct in assuming that means either a Classic or a P3? Is layout & storage on the P3 the same as the Classic of those years? What is the access to bilge pump(s). batteries, etc like on those boats. Thanks Pete
