Two guys, Chino and Alberto, better known as the cho cho's built the beach crafts for a while. The molds were standard and a blocked verson the old Eagle 31 brand that Ralph Barca built . The Cho Cho's were the main riggers at Seahawk. Alberto raced with Me in the P-68 Seahawk boat. Your boat should be a 31 or a 28... It could also be the smaller cc which... those molds were sold to Armando "Mandy" Fernandez at Spirit.

The original 38' Pantera is sometimes called the "Phantom". That mold was sold to Scorpion back in 82 when Randy Sosa left the Scorpion partnership and helped form Condor; he took those molds with him.
