I dont remember if it has the bench, does have some kinda wetbar or something on one side(you can see it behind the seat), and last I saw it on the river down here, it had bottom paint(since he leaves it in the water as shown in the pics), and didnt look well cared for. Those motors are gas hogs, but it still sounds like a good deal at $19000, you have around $10,000 in motors hanging off the back. This owner has only had it for a few years, it spent some time(a year or so) on a trailer at Fastboats before that. I dont see why it wouldnt run around 70, my 24 runs 60 on one of those motors.

The bench doesnt run the full width of the cockpit, there is a small livewell on the port side. Their is a sink and storage behind the passenger seat. It ran 68 mph w/o bottom paint.

Edit Marine completed it and rigged it because Pantera couldnt seem to get it done or get the engines we PAID for (300x's). It was bare hull when we got it from them. Pantera still owes over 80k to us on this boat on a settlement that they agreed to but then never paid. OSO office has a copy of the settlement and once offered to buy it when they thought it was BS, but then quickly changed their tune when they got a copy of the court docs.

After all was said and done including legal fees we have over 150k into this boat. we traded it on a NT to Fastboats dec 04. It is a great boat for running to shooters with 5 ppl. I dont know who ended up buying it from fastboats but saw it in the ICW in Pompano many times.

Well thats history.... So lets keep this a about the boat and not about personal problems.

Ill stick up for Jo and PP. They are GREAT people and have helped me a ton and They are the reason im buying pantera.

LIB sorry for your problems lets just keep this about the the boat.

do you have any pics of the rear seating area? and just that general area?

BUT L.I.B. I would totally understand why your mad i would be too... Their is always two sides of the story. Just sucks that it happened and more than once back in the day. I know FT525 Likes his after the dust settled.

There's a 28 by me on trailer, raised hatch/scoop, no power. Curious if it is or was a raceboat? It's been shrinkwrapped since I noticed it a while ago but I'm 99.9% sure it's a Pantera. It's just before the DNR launch at the Clinton river I can see if there's a # on the building this weekend if ya want...

Lostinboston, thanks for the info.
It's what makes this site so great, that the history of so many boats is so readily available.

So you know that they screwed over more then one customer but yet you still think they are "great" people. Search court documents on them and there are lawsuits going back to the late 70's. I've been quiet about it for years hoping they will eventually come around but now I'm sick of it. We paid for a complete boat with 300x's. They sold us engines that they never had, and could never get, thats FRAUD. We got a bare hull. They agreed to a settlement then never paid. They change the name of their company every few years from Pantera Boats to Pantera Racing or similar BS to try and avoid these lawsuits.

Keeping it about the boat: EDIT MARINE did a great job building this boat, but I would never buy a new pantera or deal with Jo or Pepe on anything.
