Smile New Pantera being delivered this week: 11-29-2012

Jo at Pantera says a new boat is being delivered this week. That is awesome as it would be great news that they are actually turning their business around, and great for their clients. Even better.....it's for an OSO member!

Jo says "We do need to complete Scott's boat which is 95 % completed and a few others in production. As a matter of fact one is being delivered to a customer that is a new member on this site this week. "

Way to go Pantera! Awesome turn around! Congrats!

Underload's boat I'm guessing ! Blank hull , gonna rig himself ..
This is just an educated guess , don't have any proof other then this picture that came out of the factory today .
Jo I know you don't like to sell blanks because bad riggers can give Pantera's bad names but maybe some of these quick flips is exactly what you need to turn your reputation around ...

Ooops. A few minor issues came up on the water test. The new owner should be ripping up the Gulf in a couple of weeks...

For power i'm going with a built 454 crank,pistons and aluminum heads with
a M3 Procharger kit. and for the drive a built bravo one I would like an XR, but if I brake its hard to find used ones and bravo ones are pretty easy to come
across here in miami. i'll post pics as I go.

Curious

When you buy it that way aren't you not getting the expertise that Pantera provides ?
The engine placement
The balance
The right x dimension
The fit and finish
The paint job

Which is all the important stuff that makes a Pantera the good boat that it is .
No shot here...just asking.

Jo was more than happy to discuss x dimension placement on our 30 year old race boat. I'm sure he will tell the buyer of a new hull where they would have cut it. And being its a bravo boat not too many options for engine placement.

I'd rethink that drive choice. That's a lot of boat for a single Bravo1. It'll probably break the first time out. Now THAT is from personal experience!

fuel tank placement gives you the balance. ask them where to mount the batteries if you wanna get that crazy with it. have pantera cut the transom for you and there is your proper X dimension. motor placement is only 1 spot once the gimble is on and alignment tool is in place.

pantera's rigging is top notch. the fit and finish and attention to detail is awsome. ride quality isnt changed by the guy running the wires tho!!
