I'd see if you could get a ride on one in the NJ area... there are 3 for sale in NJ. That should help you make up your mind... fast!

Yes they are. I was rafted up to one in my 302 Formula, and the Pantera was every bit as big, and my Formula is before they started cheating on the sizes. Great boats.

I've had 3 Baja's, including a new one. They were all very nice. But, the Pantera, hands down. Also, don't overlook that 26 Hustler. A guy by me has one and they also are built like battleships. Tough choice.

Pantera is well Built, but when are they going update the dash and fairing

Before I saw the 28 Pantera I was thinking about the 27-29 Fountain. How does it compare to the Fountains?

Russ

27 - 29 Fountain cant touch the 28 Pantera in Big water. Thats a FACT.

not to throw a monkey wrench in the game...but i'll tell ya what. i'm extremely happy with my 29 twin small block scarab have never been in a pantera so i cant compare the rides nor do i know of any with twin small blocks so i cant compare the performance...but like i said the only thing i woulda done differently was save a few more penny's and have bought a 33 AVS...thats what i'm looking to do now ....and yes she's mint and for sale

i spoke with Jo at pantera before i bought the scarab, and for a twin big block boat they were just to pricey for me, (for a 28 anyway) and since i spend alot of time in the ocean i didnt want a single. if it werent for the deal i got on the scarab i may have bought a used pantera, but same year boats with twins were $15-$25 more

This is an old school style boat. The fairing is perfect. Would you prefer a windshield?
The dash is functional... these are race boats.
But... I too would like to see some updating there, but nothing fancy.
I like all the gauges built into the back of the fairing, like a powerplay.
