Need info on 1999 Pantera 24

A good buddy of mine up in the Chicago area is interested in Kirk's 24 that is for sale. Can't seem to get a hold of Kirk on the phone. Did he buy the boat brand new, if not, can you give me some background on it? Thanks.

I am the original owner of that boat. I purchased it new and kept in NJ. After building some some pretty decent HP for that boat, I removed the 110 palnes and installed 280s. I also installed Marine Machine hydraulic steering from the rack back. After Kirk bought the boat I believe he installed the rest off the hydraulic system. I took VERY good care of the boat. Kirk, to my knowledge was/is also very fanatical about the way he keeps the boat. I do not believe that anyone would be dissappointed with the purchase of it He has owned it for approx 2 years.

I have not seen it in person... But I have emailed Kirk back and forth.. he also sent me pics. Boat looks great, and he seems like a guy that you'd want to have been the prior owner- If you know what I mean.
I'd buy it if i could...

Then I'd put a Mesa 600 in it and light my hair on fire!

Kirk's boat gets my thumbs up..

Kirk's boat is perfect. Probably would of bought it if he closer to PA.

Hey Georges,

I spoke to Bill at great length on the phone and sent him all the pictures I have of the boat, as it is in storage now. I'm checking to see if I can get into the storage to show it, if not it's not going anywhere until spring anyway.

I appreciate all the input from everyone. The boat is very clean and will be sold with a completely rebuilt engine with a warranty. I have to choose in the next month between a 502 Mag EFI or a 454 Mag EFI. I will be cleaning up some of the rigging under the hatch prior to sale. It is a very good boat at a resonable price.

There is minimal wear on the boat because Mark (scarabman) took great care of the boat and I do the same.

Thanks again everyone!!

Kirk
