Want to clear a few things : My Family and I have been in business for close to 38 years now. We have delivered many Pantera Boats all around the world. We have poured our hearts, sweat, and our entire lives into this business.
The customers and suppliers that personally know us, they know that we are not the people that a few malicious posters on this site that have never dealt or met us in person are portraying us to be. Otherwise we would not have made it in this tough business for over 35 years.
It is not a hobby for us and the only thing we know how to do. We have always taken alot of pride in our workmanship and delivered the best boat we know how at the right price. This economy has been brutal to many industries especially the marine industry. We have seen many boat companies ( some our competitors ) file for Chapter 7 or 11, merge with others, or just simply walk away and close up.
My family and I will continue to fight and hopefully exit from this re-organization a better and stronger company with quicker turn around times on new boat orders, new marketing plan, etc. etc. Our pricing will definetely have to go up since we will not cut corners on our builds.
We are not thiefs, scammers, etc. etc. like a few of you have posted that enjoy the drama while hiding behind a computer and continue to write false and un-true things.
"We owe no money to our suppliers".
As soon as we can work out a few obligations this will hopefully pass and continue better than ever. If anyone has any questions I can be reached here at the factory at 786-331-7100 or on my personal cell phone at 786-366-8802. Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM or by email at [email protected]

This ain't their first time screwing over the boating public, it's a common practice for them.

JO, I don't know you but feel for you and others that have gotten squeezed by the economy. However, I have read a lot in regards to dealings that others have had with build schedules, issues, ect. and the way they were handled. I have no dog in this fight but seeing how other issues were handled, people will be more willingly to jump on the bandwagon...my 2 cents. Best thing you can do is walk away and don't aggitate the situation.

You don't even have the balls to answer simple legit questions. Go away, your pathetic deflections are old news.

They were screwing over people long before the economy issue and using the courts to do so. They deserve nothing but jail time IMO.
How many times have you changed the company name Jo to avoid lawsuit obligations? How many judgements do you have against you Jo from how many different years? Where's Scotts boat? Where's Berks money? How about the others from previous years? Want that list? Still using Pantera to sponsor you race cart hobby? (or should we say Customers up-front monies?)
