Cat look at the boat running, Pepe did a real good job on that.

WOW! I can't wait to see the pleasure version as well!
I love the blending of old school looks with just enough modern cues to make it look new and exciting! Obviously the steps are working perfect, now I have a new favorite "next" boat! Maybe a pair of 600hp diesels for Island hopping!

That Bimini crossing isn't Loto water! :party-smiley-004:

Disappointing? Actually the water was a lot like LOTO that particular day.

That Pantera sure is sweet looking; can't wait to see how it runs.

Just messing with you......You had one of the best looking boats out there! I wish more pleasure boats would make that run!

The race boats are expected to be fast and reliable but the pleasure boats are the real deal. I can't believe with the amount of fast powerboats that attend S. FL poker runs that this event doesn't have two dozen pleasure boats out there!

Hopefully the event will grow...that's the real deal. The clock doesn't lie.

Problem is its called a "race" so no insurance.

I bet a pair of 480hp Yanmars and ASD-8's would be in the 78-80mph range...also check out the 480hp Cummins NXT package. I think the 600's will be to much weight and vibration..unless its the souped up version of the 480hp..

Obviously that's where it needed to be, it's just that you normally don't see the first step that far forward. Boat runs great, and after more dial-in it should see success in P1.

I agree, the Pantera guys work hard and deserve it.
