Default Hey Full Throttle 525

When is that boat coming up north? I was in the Pantera factory over a month ago and saw your boat, it looked like it was almost done Shoot me a PM when you get it up here, I'd love to see the completed product.

Hey Guys...

Sorry..didn't get it yet.

I didn't hear from the factory last week, but I spoke to Linda this morning and she said JO will call me to give me a status report.

I'm going back to Bonita Springs,FL late Friday night and will be going over to the factory next week. Hope to take the boat back to Bonita with me. Sure would be nice to blast in Florida with B-Stubb before I take it north for the summer.

I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I hear something.

Can't wait for Pepe to put smiles on my face..

FT525- Didn't you post on another thread that the boat was supposed to be at last year's Norwalk boat show in October, or was that the inflatable?? I know there's a couple of us that would love to see one of these 28s up close!

WildThing..

I would use that contraption....but, does it come with directions? Looks like a vacuum cleaner to me and I don't know how to use a vacuum cleaner. Do you need an outlet? Do I put the boat in the water first then try to blow it up? I'm totally confused. Shouldn't I ground myself?

Hell...seems easier to hire someone. No liability on my part.

Hey Mike:

I have a couple of pics on a thread that I posted 4/1/04.

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...threadid=75675

The engine is in, cockpit fans installed, drive is on and seats should have been installed last week. Cockpit & bow cover will be fitted after seats are installed and a few minor odds & ends. Hydraulic steering just needed to be attached to the drive.

Here are a few more pics from April 1. I'm going over this Tuesday. I'm just waiting for the trailer and then the call for a sea trial. Hopefully end of this week.

Will keep all posted.

Ron
