Pantera's in Sweden (+north europe area)
I think it's a good idea to start a thread with some of the over seas Panteras.
First my prev 28 3 Man Race boat what I bought from Bruce Seroff. The hull was from -96 but rigged first -02. The boat came complete exclusive engine. I dropped a brand new Chevy 572/620hp in to her. We had it dyno to 631,3hp. I great power plant for this heavy boat. With some good chops we run her exactly 80MPH. This boat was a favorite!!
I just used this boat the summer 2006 and then tok the engine out an sold the boat to Pelle in Finland. I think he is up to drop a 540/600hp in it and make a 5 man bolster set up.

I sold the 28 cuz I needed to finish my 28 Arrow. But then I was start thinking of a older 24 Pantera... I found an old one.. With Volvo 383/300hp with T280 drive. Old slow set up in a nice old school boat. This 24 1979 was in better shape than I thought. I was first planing to redo the boat to a true original -79 (or -77) but with a modern engine/drive set up. Then I realise it going to take a lot of time to have both the Arrow-project and now this... So I sold the 24 to a nice guy in our area. He was actually looking for a 24 Pantera project allready.

...Then our friend Stefan (Stoffe OSO boardmember) seemed a little tired on his 22 Scarab -95, he sold that one. And wanted me to find a 24 Pantera for him. Bordmember Troy Robl sold him a nice 24 -80 with 454 and Bravo-drive. The boat is on its way over the pod right now. Very nice looking Pantera!!

And yes, then Tomas Wallin and Dr Phil needed a kid sister to their Factory1 28 Pantera. This boat is one very cool real old school Pantera 1979! 454 TRS. The boat came to Sweden last weekend. I Cant wait to see it!

...o yees... my thoughts to just have 1 boat went bananas.
1995 24 Pantera with 454 (I beleive 365 Mag) with Bravo. I bought this boat from a very nice guy up in Quincy IL. We came up to a very good deal and the boat is just to dropp in water. But I going to have a good friend take a look at the electrical wirings etc. Its has no tabs (!) at this boats so I'll try to fin a good deal for a set of 280's, DANA or some other tabs. This boat will be home shortly.
I have big numbers of photos of this boat and hull/deck/cockpit looks brand new. But I dont like the hull/deck graphics....

Cool thread Mange!
So we recently determined that there are approx 1000 Pantera's ever built.
Starting to look like 5% of them are in Sweden, and another 5% are scattered around the rest of Europe.
You have great taste in boats.
