Panther boats ?
Hi,
I think you classic guys can help me out with this. Panther 25ft (or maybe 24?) looks like the Pantera, P&D, Banana Boat, 24 cig etc. Whats the story about Panther? Looks very nice.
(I dont talk about Wellcraft Scarab Panther now!)
Thanks
Mange

Is this the 24' Panther in question ? This broachure is from around 1976. Cheetah boats of California had a 24' back in 1973 and this may be the same mold.

That ad made me laugh the first time I saw it. Panther on the west coast and Pantera on the east cost building identical looking boats... Too funny!
I'd love to hear "the rest of the story" on this one.

Yah, sorry Rick... Not "idential" but the bottom, transom and spray rail look exactly the same, and the deck is very similar to the sport other than the rounded front rather than straight across. And if it was around in '73, I wondered if it might have "evolved" into it's Miami cousin (in espanol of course!).

Brosure is the same as one for Sarasota ( Bill Farmer ) 24 ft Excalibur. Later copied by many other boat builders. Pantera boat had a flat deck.

Just found this thread. Here is a pic of mine. Plan on having the gel sprayed within a week. I have had a hard time finding info on the boat. When I first bought it I was told it was a Pantera.
