Daily Driver?
We have an airshow at the beach this weekend (Blue Angels) and traffic is always insane so my boss decided instead of sitting in traffic for God knows how long after work he would just drive his boat across the bay. It usually takes him 30 minutes to get to the office by land but only 8 minutes in the go fast.
 Its a 28' Pantera with a fuel injected 454. I think he likes the ride so much he might just start driving it on a daily basis. Also a pic of my not so fast ride.

Re: Daily Driver?
Sweet boat! I love the way your truck sits....what did you use for lowering components?

Re: Daily Driver?
I bought 2.5" spindles, 2" springs and a flip kit from Summit along with "lowered" shocks all around. I put 275/60/15s on it at first but had some rubbing issues up front so I put 245/60/15s on the front. The front tires are 1.5" shorter than the back and since im putting on longtube headers soon I think I might go with a 245/70/15 (same height as the 275/60) to raise the front up 3/4" for some extra clearance.
Yeah my boss loves his boat for sure. He wants me to go for a ride but im not sure my fat butt will fit in the seats!
