What is the hull ID on that boat? Could have been built in Pefferlaw ON by Panther Boats. Are you sure the length is 25ft?

They could have made them in Ontario Canada as many companies copied & made them. The left hand steering is one more clue that it came from the same molds as the 25' KAMIKAZE...

I don't believe this is a 24x7 boat. It was advertised locally with a full set of pictures and its more like 22 ft. Panther built a lot of ski boats that were mostly 18-20 footers.

The HIN is PMR011091078 and it measures aound 24.5 in length and over 7 rub rail to rub rail (quick measurement with a 25' tape out in the cold lol). I am trying to decide if this is a project i want to take on. It had a 454 in it but it has been removed the only thing that remains is the gimble and the transom need work. What is a boat like this worth in monetary value? (I build race cars and i know personal value is always more after a project is done).

Thanks for the info guys

The guy had it posted as a 22 but when he looked at the receipt that he had from the auction house where he got it, it said 25ft.

Does anyone know how heavy this boat might be?

The HIN numbers starting in PMR identifies your boat built by Performance Marine Inc. In Kennebunk, ME.

I thought Performance Marine was in Long Beach California. They also made Aztec boats? I could wrong. I thought I saw it on the bottom of a brochure that was posted.

Hello All,

Recently I purchased a 1979 26ft single 454 Offshore. The title says it is a Cobra, but the HIN starts with CBN, which is B&B Racing, bought out by Crusader. This boat has a very narrow beam, and a deep V, and greatly resembles a Martini. I did see that the owner of B&B Racing is Bill and Bob Bowers, who I think also owned Corsa. Can anyone help me find out what kind of boat I now own?! Someone had mentioned that a man Jim Klem purchased blank hulls and sold them in MI. Maybe thats where this came from? I have no clue...please help! Also, what exactly is a Cobra? I cannot find any information on it. I just keep bringing up Martini/Corsa
